The revival of a classic work of journalism which exposes the gap
between the official story and reality 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.
