I bought this book based on a recommendation in an article in the Weekly Standard. I have read extensively on the Korean War and have interviewed over 40 veterans.
I expected an authoritative history of the background of the Korean War, descriptions of all important military actions, thorough political analysis, and a summary of what the Korean War meant in light of developments since.
This book is instead a political analysis based on the thesis (you've got to have big thesis, you know) that the Korean War was a proxy for a WWIII that didn't happen. There is some miliary action coverage, but it is squeezed into the thesis.
It is a dissertation type book directed at an international politics audience.
