What is The Korean War: 1945-1953 about?
Early in the Korean War, columnist Walter Lippmann wrote that "what we... have to prove to the world is that we can help a country without destroying it." As Hugh Deane observes in this book, the painful truth is that we didn't even come close. His evidence includes: • The American alliance with the most reactionary and repressive elements in Korean society, specifically the Syngman Rhee regime. • The sequence of atrocities committed by Americans and allied south Koreans. • Bombings which turned most of Korea, south as well as north, into stretches of building fragments and rubble. • MacArthur's impassioned efforts to convert the peninsular war into a China war. • Gross abuse of prisoners of war. • Evidence indicating U.S. employment of biological weapons.
