Respected for its accuracy, its smooth and logical flow of ideas,
and its clear presentation, Field and Wave Electromagnetics has
become an established textbook in the field of electromagnetics.
This book builds the electromagnetic model using an axiomatic
approach in steps: first for static electric fields, then for
static magnetic fields, and finally for time-varying fields leading
to Maxwell's equations. This approach results in an organised and
systematic development of the subject matter. Applications of
derived relations to fundamental phenomena and electromagnetic
technologies are explained.
The Korean War lasted for three years, one month, and two days, but
armistice talks occupied more than two of those years, as more than
14,000 Chinese prisoners of war refused to return to Communist
China and demanded to go to Nationalist Taiwan, effectively
hijacking the negotiations and thwarting the designs of world
leaders at a pivotal moment in Cold War history. In The Hijacked
War, David Cheng Chang vividly portrays the experiences of Chinese
prisoners in the dark, cold, and damp tents of Koje and Cheju
Islands in Korea and how their decisions derailed the high politics
being conducted in the corridors of power in Washington, Moscow,
and Beijing. Chang demonstrates how the Truman-Acheson
administration's policies of voluntary repatriation and prisoner
reindoctrination for psychological warfare purposes—the first
overt and the second covert—had unintended consequences. The
"success" of the reindoctrination program backfired when
anti-Communist Chinese prisoners persuaded and coerced fellow POWs
to renounce their homeland. Drawing on newly declassified archival
materials from China, Taiwan, and the United States, and interviews
with more than 80 surviving Chinese and North Korean prisoners of
war, Chang depicts the struggle over prisoner repatriation that
dominated the second half of the Korean War, from early 1952 to
July 1953, in the prisoners' own words.
