This volume reassesses the origins; nature; and aftermath of the war which was fought in the Korean peninsula between 1950 and 1953. Attention is focused particularly on the extraordinary first year of the war; which witnessed profound variations in the fortune of both sides. This included the initial North Korean attack; the counter-offensive launched by the United States Command; China's dramatic entry into the war; the retreat of UN forces; the controversy over the conduct and dismissal of General MacArthur; and the decision to commence armistice negotiations.
