Summary:
"Between World War II and Vietnam there was the Korean War, 1950–53. Often described as 'the forgotten war,' the conflict nevertheless had a huge impact on the course of Cold War history and the relationship of America to the Soviet Union, China, and the rest of Asia--an effect that remains far from played out. This definitive history, largely based on documents not previously available to scholars or to the public, [which] were obtained by the author under the Freedom of Information Act. The book is widely considered an indispensable interpretation of the Korean War, including the epoch-making conflict between President Harry S. Truman and General Douglas MacArthur"--Back cover.
