In June 1950 Communist forces poured across the 38th Parallel (the
arbitrary, militarily indefensible line of latitude separating the
Communist North from the independent Republic of Korea) to unite
the country by force. Three bloody, bitter years of fighting ensued
during which the see-sawing fortunes of this frustrating war
thwarted North Korea's ambitions while treating the ill-equipped,
overconfident U.N. peacekeeping forces, mostly Americans, no less
harshly. Conflict examines the war in all its military, political,
and human dimensions: the battles at Pusan Perimeter, at Inchon, at
Chosin Reservoir, at Heartbreak Ridge; significant figures like
Syngman Rhee, Kim Il Sung, Ridgway, MacArthur, and Truman;
controversies like the U.N.'s role, MacArthur's dismissal, the
difficulties of P.O.W. exchanges, and charges of brainwashing and
germ warfare; as well as penetrating analyses of the performance of
the American soldier, and the war's effect on the U.S. military and
our national psyche. As such, Conflict stands as an unsurpassed,
vivid contribution to history.
