This book re-visits the history of the Korean War of 1950-1953 from
a Chinese perspective, examining Chinese strategy and exploring why
China sent three million troops to Korea, in Mao's words, to
"defend the homeland and safeguard the country"-giving rise to what
became the war's common name in China. It also looks into the
relatively neglected historical factors which have redefined
China's security concerns and strategic culture. Using newly
available sources from China and the former Soviet Union, the book
considers how interactive the parameters of defense changes were in
a foreign war against Western powers, how flexible Chinese strategy
was in the context of its intervention, and how expansive its
strategic cultural repertoire was at the crucial moment to "defend
the country." Providing a re-examination of China's military
decisions and strategy evolution, this text narrates the story of
successive generations of Chinese leaders and provides a key
insight into security issues in China and Northeast Asia today.
