The U.S.–rok Relationship into Full Bloom
U.S. relations with South Korea had a rocky start during U.S. occupation when American planners rated the peninsula low on the list of U.S. strategic priorities. The psychology of the relationship improved in 1948, when the United States helped create the Republic of Korea ( rok ), and even more after June 1950, when U.S. military intervention prevented North Korea from conquering South Korea. With the July 1953 armistice in the Korean War, the U…
To End the Unending War
The Korean War never has been a “forgotten war” for Koreans who lived through the brutal conflict and still live under the two competing states that it helped to establish as permanent entities. Yet, the experiences of the Korean people often have taken a backseat in the study of the war. This review essay introduces and assesses an important work that challenges this view. Korean scholar Dong-Choon Kim argues that the wartime experience of the K…
The Ashgate Research Companion to the Korean War
At best, encyclopedias of wars and historiographical volumes of the same are dull compendiums of information and ideas that provide useful references to buffs, fact-checkers, and non-specialists. This volume of 32 essays focusing on the historiography of the Korean War is much more. Senior scholars James I. Matray, a diplomatic historian, and Donald W. Boose, Jr., a military historian, have produced a book that not only will inform members of the…

Deliberations on Dirty Fighting in the Early Cold War
The issue of civilian vulnerability to military operations has garnered considerable attention in the press during the latest, ongoing wars of the United States. In the book under review, Sahr Conway-Lanz provides a wealth of historical context by recounting the debates, both public and private, that occurred among Americans on the issue of “collateral damage” during the administrations of Harry S. Truman and Dwight D. Eisenhower. Conway-Lanz mag…
An Alliance Forged in Blood’
The US occupation of Korea from 1945 to 1948 was not notable for its success. The volatile interaction between the occupiers and the occupied provided an important context for its relatively rapid conclusion and for Washington's ineffective employment of deterrence in the lead-up to the June 1950 North Korean attack on South Korea. This essay describes the volatile interaction between Americans and Koreans on the peninsula and the circumstantial,…
Reassessing U.S. Strategy in the Aftermath of the Korean War
Globalization and the American South
In 1955 the Forbes magazine list of America's largest corporations included just 18 with headquarters in the Southeast. By 2002 the number had grown to 123. In fact, the South attracted over half of the foreign businesses drawn to the United States in the 1990s. The eight original essays collected here consider this stunning dynamism in ways that help us see anew the region's place in that ever-accelerating, transnational flow of people, capital,…
Rethinking the Korean War
Rethinking the Korean War
Fought on what to Westerners was a remote peninsula in northeast Asia, the Korean War was a defining moment of the Cold War. It militarized a conflict that previously had been largely political and economic. And it solidified a series of divisions--of Korea into North and South, of Germany and Europe into East and West, and of China into the mainland and Taiwan--which were to persist for at least two generations. Two of these divisions continue t…

The Korean War
This first truly international history of the Korean War argues that by its timing, its course, and its outcome it functioned as a substitute for World War III. Stueck draws on recently available materials from seven countries, plus the archives of the United Nations, presenting a detailed narrative of the diplomacy of the conflict and a broad assessment of its critical role in the Cold War. He emphasizes the contribution of the United Nations, w…

The Korean War as International History
The Korean War stands as the most dangerous armed conflict of the entire two generations since the surrender of Germany and Japan in 1945. Twice—first in the months immediately following the massive Chinese counteroffensive of late November 1950, and again in May and early June 1953—the United States seriously entertained an expansion of hostilities beyond Korea, which would have made a direct confrontation with the Soviet Union difficult to avoi…

The Road to Confrontation
Concentrating on U.S. concerns for credibility abroad, Stueck uses recently declassified documents and many interviews to analyze the origins of the Sino-American confrontation in Korea in late 1950. He demonstrates how personalities (Secretary of State Marshall and General MacArthur) and bureaucracies (the State Department and the Joint Chiefs of Staff) influenced policy development and how congressional penny-pinching reduced prospects for a pr…
