Description:
New book, 278 pages. During the last days of World War II, Korea was drawn into an international crisis when it was invaded by the Soviet Union. Eventually divided into two seperate nations, the Korean peninsula erupted into a bloody new war fought by the United Nations - under the leadership of the United States - against North Korea, China, and the Soviet Union. Hundreds of thousands of military and civilian lives were list in three years. And when the smoke cleared, two huge armies stood poised to resume the killing either side of the 38th parallel. This book is a complete history of the conflict in Korea from its early beginnings as an isolated country often referred to as "the Hermit Kingdom", to its defeat at the hands of foreign invaders such as the Mongols, the Chinese, and the Japanese Empire, and on into the present. W. Thomas Smith Jr. tells us the dramatic story of what many refer to as the "forgotten war", battle by bloody battle, America's first "limited war". But the story doesn't end with the shooting war, as the Korean conflict continues to this day, a time bomb that threatens global peace.
