Seller's Description:
Very good. Connecting readers with great books since 1972! Used books may not include companion materials, and may have some shelf wear or limited writing. We ship orders daily and Customer Service is our top priority!
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.
