About this product
Product Information
Emphasizing the Korean perspective, Millett recasts the war's origins--providing a new starting date in 1948--and establishes the struggle as a post-colonial Asian war of national liberation modeled after the People's War. Drawing upon sources from the major nations involved in this drama, Millett brings a fresh perspective to a war that was well underway before American became mired in the conflict.
