The Korean War in Britain explores the social and cultural impact
of the Korean War (1950-53) on Britain. Coming just five years
after the ravages of the Second World War, Korea was a deeply
unsettling moment in post-war British history. From allegations
about American use of 'germ' warfare to anxiety over Communist use
of 'brainwashing' and treachery at home, the Korean War
precipitated a series of short-lived panics in 1950s Britain. But
by the time of its uneasy ceasefire in 1953, the war was becoming
increasingly forgotten. Using Mass Observation surveys, letters,
diaries and a wide range of under-explored contemporary material,
this book charts the war's changing position in British popular
imagination and asks how it became known as the 'Forgotten War'. It
explores the war in a variety of viewpoints - conscript, POW,
protester and veteran - and is essential reading for anyone
interested in Britain's Cold War past. -- .
