Bruce Cumings’ “The Korean War†is the first book I’ve read about the war. I decided to read it because my father, a Naval officer, served as part of the post World War II occupation of Inchon, an element of America’s involvement prior to the start of the Karan War on June 25, 1950. Cumings brilliantly examines the history of events which eventually resulted in this military campaign.What truly captured this reader’s attention is Cumings’ discussion of America’s military strategy, specifically our nation’s engagement in a scorched-earth air campaign against North Korea. He described it as similar in nature to the US and British air assaults on Germany in the months leading up to the fall of Hitler’s Third Reich, ending the European segment of WW II. He tells of the destruction of all the major cities in N. Korea. He relates the hundreds of thousands of Korean civilians who lost their lives in the North.The author also narrates the numerous massacres of Korean women, children and the elderly, as well as those branded as political prisoners and prisoners of war. Cumings discusses the actions of South Korean police and soldiers who carried out the slaughter of North and many South Koreans who were suspected of assisting enemy forces as well as allies of the Japanese.Cumings also describes the efforts on the part of high-ranking Americans who were cabinet members in the Truman Administration, citing specifically Dean Acheson, Truman’s Secretary of State. Additionally, the author provides a valuable narrative of the life and importance of Kim il Sung, North Korea’s military hero. Kim was the father of Kim Jung-Il, who made N. Korea an atomic power, and grandfather of the North’s current President, Kim Jung Un.As a result of reading this book, my interest in the Korean War and the politics of Korea has been greatly enhanced. Much to my delight, the author has included a lengthy reading list to which I can turn to fuel my interest in the history and politics of the two Koreas.
This is not a typical 'war history'. The first chapter is a short summary of the battle years, but the book is a more scholarly work that situates that war in the history of China, Korea, Japan and the U.S. How did the war come about? What events, forces and personalities played a role in it's inception and ensuing history. Highly recommend but don't imagine it's a quick read. That said, it is an enjoyable read and it will teach you more than your expectations.
Incredible history that was very enlightening. I’ve got 2 history degrees but I’ve not been exposed to the horrors of this misadventure by our civilian & military leaders during that period in our nations history.
The Korean war was a loser from the start. All wars need to be fought to win. Plan well, equip for success, inform participants and execute. This war was poorly planned and executed. Soldiers were ill equipped and sacrificed without the resources to win. Our soldiers are the best, bravest and they deserve our support.
The author seemed to loosely follow the timeline. I kinda got lost a few times. Not knowing much about the Korean War, this book gave me an interesting insight into what happened.
This book is a demystifying account of the origins, development, and consequences of the Korean War. The colonial legacy and occupation of Korea by Japan is considered and discussed as a key juncture in Korea's tragic history. The defeat of Japan and the very influential presence of American and Soviet forces as a major catalyst in the political development of the Korean society is intelligently discussed. The catastrophic and traumatic experience of the Korean War are analyzed; Cumings rightly emphasizes on the savagery of this conflict(astonishing death and suffering experienced by socially fragile agrarian society)and the rarely discussed destruction of Korean cities after 1950. Cumings argues that this war did not only dramatically change destiny of the Korean nation, but also deeply impacted and forged the direction of the foreign policy of the U.S...I highly recommend this very intelligent book.
Good for learning socio-political backstory of the war. The peninsula is more coherent per history with China-Manchuria, Russsia, modern Jorean states, Japan, and America. NOT a good history of actual military maneuvers during the war. Took off one star. Also the author can be considered left of center, not outright biased or unacademic, but his choice of focus is definitely deliberate. Not a lot of histories discuss SOUTHERN atrocities. This book almost exclusively discusses these. This author meant to correct an academic imbalance in understanding o the DPRK. He did NOT set out to explain the military operations, movements, or maneuvers of the war.
Besides the military history it showcases the u.s. support of a brutal dictator who murdered his own people a precursor to Vietnam and Afghanistan it appears the US never learns not to back dictators
