This is a study of the Korean War of 1950-1953 from the inside--the
nuts and bolts of armed conflict. The perspective is American, with
the principal focus on the relationships of the people involved:
Koreans versus Koreans, Americans and Koreans, Americans and
Chinese, and the U.S. and its allies. The lives of ordinary
soldiers are examined--U.S. forces, with attention paid to the
other side as well. A major development in American ranks was the
effective elimination of racial segregation. At home, there were
surveys of Americans' opinions about the war. The book examines
such important aspects of military operations as supplies,
equipment and weapons, tactics and strategy, intelligence, and
psychological warfare. Also studied is the vexing matter of
prisoners of war--on both sides. Finally, there is an effort to fit
Korea into the generalities of American military experience in
Asia, from the war with Japan to Vietnam.
