In commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of the Korean War; the official history offices of the U.S. Army; Navy; Marine Corps; and Air Force and their respective historical associations collaborated to sponsor as comprehensive a symposium as possible; including as participants some of the coalition partners who contributed forces and weapons to the war. The intent of this symposium; titled Coalition Air Warfare during the Korean War; 1950 -1953; was to focus not only on the contributions made by the armed forces of the United States; but also on those of America's allies. The diverse group of panelists and speakers included not only scholars with subject matter expertise; but also veteran soldiers; sailors; and airmen who had served in that conflict. It was hoped that the melding of these diverse perspectives would provide interesting; if sometimes conflicting; views about the Korean War. The symposium organizers designated an agenda of six specific panels for investigation; including Planning and Operations; Air Superiority; Air Support of Ground Forces; Air Interdiction and Bombardment; Air Reconnaissance and Intelligence; and Logistical Support of Air Operations. Each session began with commentary by the panel chairman; which was followed by formal papers; and in some instances included a lively question and answer session. The papers and most of the proceedings found their way into print and are recorded here in an effort to permanently capture the activities; challenges; contributions; and heroics of the coalition air forces and the airmen who fought during the Korean conflict.

All the historical pieces I had put together from my own reading were amplified and augmented by this excellent writer. I was led to reconsider my view in light of new evidence. The conclusions; while startling are clear. The enslavement of Native Americans by colonial powers was deliberate to solve a labor shortage problem to the economic advantage of colonial elites.4 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Excellent Piece of ScholarshipBy CustomerIn Brethren by Nature; Dr. Newell provides a riveting and paradigm-shifting account of the often overlooked Native American slave experience. Her insightful survey of the complex cultural interchange between Native American and colonial English culture in the American Northeast is a fresh look at the process of Creolization and opens up lanes for further analysis of the origins of the abolition movement.
