Proxy wars, it seems, are more openly practiced than ever--and yet
one of the worst of these was suppressed and "forgotten" even in
its own time. At the height of the McCarthy era and the inception
of the Cold War, the great journalist I.F. Stone released The
Hidden History of the Korean War, a courageous work of
investigative journalism that demolished the official story of
America's so-called "forgotten war." As the war spiraled to its
conclusion, Stone closely analyzed openly available U.S.
intelligence narratives on the war's official start, and the
actions of key players like John Foster Dulles, General Douglas
MacArthur, and Chiang Kai-shek. The result of his investigations
was a controversial book that raised questions about the origin of
the war, made a case that the U.S. government had manipulated the
United Nations, and gave evidence that the U.S. military and South
Korean oligarchy dragged out the war by sabotaging peace talks.
With a new introduction by Tim Beal and Greg Elich, 70 years after
its initial publication The Hidden History of the Korean War
remains a powerful dissemination of the 'hidden history' behind the
dominant historical narrative, as relevant as ever.
