I believe this book serves a threefold purpose. It is a case-study in the cold war. It is also a study in war propaganda; in how to read newspapers and official documents in wartime. Emphasis; omission; and distortion rather than outright lying are the tools of the war propagandists; and this book may help the reader to learn how to examine their output - and sift out the facts - for himself. Finally this book is what it purports to be; not "inside stuff" or keyhole revelations but the hidden history of the Korean War; the facts to be found in the official accounts themselves if texts are carefully examined and reports collated. -- excerpt from author's preface
