Between November 1950 and the end of fighting in June 1953,
China launched six major offensives against UN forces in Korea. The
most important of these began on April 22, 1951, and was the
largest Communist military operation of the war. The UN forces put
up a strong defense, prevented the capture of the South Korean
capital of Seoul, and finally pushed the Chinese back above the
38th parallel. After China s defeat in this epic five-week battle,
Mao Zedong and the Chinese leadership became willing to conclude
the war short of total victory. China's Battle for Korea offers new
perspectives on Chinese decision making, planning, and execution;
the roles of command, political control, and technology; and the
interaction between Beijing, Pyongyang, and Moscow, while providing
valuable insight into Chinese military doctrine and the reasons for
the UN s military success."
