Odd Man out - Truman, Stalin, Mao, and the Origins of the Korean War (Paperback, 1st pbk. ed)

A stratling reinterpretation of the events that led to the Korean War; Based on previously unavailable documents from Chinese, Russian, and U.S. archives; Odd Man Out is a novel assessment of the motives and strategies of Truman, Stalin, and Mao as they struggled to maneuver their countries into positions of advantage in the postwar world. Their successes and failures resulted in the catastrophic event that globalised the Cold War - the Korean War. Based on recently released secret documents, Thornton puts the reader inside the American, Soviet, and Chinese decision-making processes during these earth-shaking events, events that have been misinterpreted for decades.
