Book Synopsis Stalin's Last War by : Alan J. Levine
Download or read book Stalin's Last War written by Alan J. Levine and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2005-07-15 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Often referred to as "The Forgotten War," the Korean War was the only post-World War II combat between major powers. According to evidence provided in this study, it was also a crucial episode of the Cold War--more crucial, perhaps, than the war in Vietnam. This military and political history of the Korean War endeavors to give a fresh and less than fashionable account of the war. Utilizing both immediately postwar impressions and newly available evidence from Communist sources, it places the events in Korea into the larger framework of the early 1950s period of the Cold War. Beginning chapters discuss the escalation of early Cold War-era world events, from the final days of World War II to the first days of the Korean War, and detail the inevitability of Western intervention in the Korean conflict. The chapters that follow supply a broad account of the military aspect of the war, focusing on its "grand strategy," what is now known of the Communist side in Korea, the problems and achievements of the South Korean forces, and the often underestimated war in the air. Considerable attention is also given to matters in Europe and elsewhere, such as German rearmament and the Japanese peace treaty, that are revealed to have been not far removed from Korea. The author espouses several original theories regarding Stalin's interpretation of the Korean conflict as a preliminary phase of World War III and the probability that the Communists did intend to extend the war beyond both the confines of Korea and the armistice negotiations of 1951. Concluding commentary attributes the end of the first phase of the Cold War to the Korean armistice, but the nature of the remaining phases to the polarization of powers that was intensified by the fight for ideological dominance in Korea.

Download or read book U.S. Marine Operations In Korea 1950-1953: Volume V - Operations In West Korea [Illustrated Edition] written by Lt.-Col. Pat Meid USMCR and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-06 with total page 615 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Includes over 50 photos and 35 maps. THIS IS THE CONCLUDING VOLUME of a five-part series dealing with operations of United States Marines in Korea between 2 August 1950 and 27 July 1953. Volume V provides a definitive account of operations of the 1st Marine Division and the 1st Marine Aircraft Wing during 1952–1953, the final phase of the Korean War. At this time the division operated under Eighth U.S. Army in Korea (EUSAK) control in the far western sector of I Corps, while Marine aviators and squadrons functioned as a component of the Fifth Air Force (FAF). “MENTION THE KOREAN WAR and almost immediately it evokes the memory of Marines at Pusan, Inchon, Chosin Reservoir, or the Punchbowl. Americans everywhere remember the Marine Corps’ combat readiness, courage, and military skills that were largely responsible for the success of these early operations in 1950–1951. Not as dramatic or well-known are the important accomplishments of the Marines during the latter part of the Korean War. In March 1952 the 1st Marine Division redeployed from the East-Central front to West Korea. This new sector, nearly 35 miles in length, anchored the far western end of I Corps and was one of the most critical of the entire Eighth Army line. Here the Marines blocked the enemy’s goal of penetrating to Seoul, the South Korean capital. Northwest of the Marine Main Line of Resistance, less than five miles distant, lay Panmunjom, site of the sporadic truce negotiations. Whatever guise the enemy of the United States chooses or wherever he draws his battleline, he will find the Marines with their age-old answer. Today, as in the Korean era, Marine Corps readiness and professionalism are prepared to apply the cutting edge against any threat of American security.”-Gen. Chapman

Book Synopsis Korea -- Back When . . . Retrospective by a Former GI in a War-Torn Land by : Anthony J. DeBlasi
Download or read book Korea -- Back When . . . Retrospective by a Former GI in a War-Torn Land written by Anthony J. DeBlasi and published by Anthony DeBlasi. This book was released on 2007-03 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There were plots and bloodshed in South Korean prison camps, riots in Seoul, and an angry president who refused to sit down and negotiate a peace treaty, planning instead to invade North Korea with his own troops. Never mind the US/UN forces and the armistice! When I got to my assigned unit in Korea, Bed-Check Charlie had stopped dropping grenades over the compound at night, from his single-prop plane. The Gook grenadier hoped in the darkness to hit something or somebody in this communications outfit in Bupyong. The cease-fire had stopped the thunder at the front but fighting went on after the armistice. This war -was not over. Hell broke loose in Korea-five years after World War II-when Soviet-backed North Korea invaded South Korea. As US and other UN troops rushed in to keep South Korea out of the jaws of Communist North Korea, the question on many minds was: is this the start of World War III? The Soviet Union was armed with nuclear warheads and nervous Americans built bomb shelters. 1.8 million of us were sent to Korea between 1950 and 1953 to stop the aggression. In those three years, on a peninsula between China and Japan, one-third the size of California, over 36,000 American servicemen lost their lives. The total death toll was over two million. A peace treaty was never signed. How many Americans know that our troops-some 30,000 strong-are in Korea today, facing the same enemy we did more than 50 years ago? What other armed conflict keeps producing veterans after half a century! This intense little book tells who we were and what sent us off to war. It sketches the role of a radio company, reports a chilling moment during prisoner exchange, takes a trip to the DMZ, samplesfirst-hand accounts of GIs before the cease-fire, and speaks of the Korean people and their culture during those war-torn years. The book is illustrated with photos I took there, including rare ones found in the company dark room taken at Panmunjom during the prisoner exchange. It is dedicated to all who served and still serve in Korea and written to highlight a decisive chapter in our history, sadly almost forgotten.
