BORDERLINE WARFARE: UNC Forces in Korea, 1954-1974 (A Historical
Chronology) By Robert V. Hunt, Jr. Many believe that the Korean War
ended with the armistice signing at Panmunjom on 27 July 1953. In
fact, the Korean War has never ended--officially or otherwise.
While an "armed truce" inititally diminished the level of
hostilities, the North Korean Communists never gave up their goal
of communizing the korean peninsula. Beginning in the mid-1960s,
North Korea launched a major attempt using both insurgency and
conventional means to bring abouth the destruction of non-Communist
South Korea. With the active support of Communist China and the
Soviet Union, North Korean dictator Kim Il Sung felt confident that
if he could create a provocation that induced either the United
States or South Korea to launch an overt attack on his country, he
could invoke his mutual defense pacts with the two Communist
giants, who would then actively support him in his quest to conquer
South Korea. This work chornicles the borderline warfare that
nearly brought about another major war in Asia while the Vietnam
War was raging.
