Wars have played an interregnal part in American history. Some of
these are well remembered, some are not. Among the more significant
wars that have been largely ignored is the Korean War (1950-1953)
fought less than five years after the end of World War II. Much of
the history of this watershed event has been lost or
misinterpreted, primarily because the undefined goals of the
conflict, the inability of the home front to properly engage, and
the failure to achieve complete victory has tarnished it. Resulting
from the intense propaganda issued and the vastly limited press
coverage, much of what is known is the result of battlefield
stories that are basically true but which miss much of the more
significant information. These myths appear in the American memory
and are told over and over again. In taking a closer look at these
myths, such as 'Who started the war' and 'Did the Marines win the
Korean War?' a clearer and somewhat unique understanding of the war
is presented.
