An introduction to the causes and consequences of the Korean War,
this history seeks to challenge presumptions about Korea favoured
by American politicians and network news pundits. Through a
judicious survey of the historical record, Martin Hart-Landsberg
demonstrates that the basic aim of U.S. foreign policy in Korea
from the outset has been regional control - not democracy, despite
Washington's claims. Reconstructing the long pattern of Korean
struggles for national unity and independence from foreign
domination, he shows that the division of the country into hostile
states after World War II produced an "imaginary line" contrary to
the interests and desires of a majority of Koreans. He examines the
post-war history of North and South Korea, showing how Cold War
foreign policy and division undermined valuable efforts at social
change on both sides of the 38th parallel. Reunification, he
concludes, is the optimal solution for Korea, so long as it
transpires on a democratic and egalitarian basis, with
participation by popular social movements.
