About This Novel
John Toland, editor of "The Long Battle: A Revised Edition of the Korean War through American Eyes". Why did the Korean War happen? The Korean War, which the United States failed to win for the first time, left a bitter political legacy for the United States. It also accelerated the pace of rearmament in Europe, greatly increased military budgets, and set a dangerous precedent for the U. S. President to direct an undeclared war without constitutional approval during police operations. This book attempts to provide insights into many controversial issues. Was Truman correct in believing that the Soviet Union and the Chinese Communist Party conspired to orchestrate the war? Are historians' recent assertions that the United States instigated and encouraged the South Korean puppets to launch this war consistent with the facts? Was Truman justified in insisting on voluntary repatriation of prisoners of war? Is it true that the Chinese Communist Party has been claiming that the United States has engaged in biological warfare? Were captured American pilots brainwashed into admitting they dropped germ bombs? *In the end, was this battle worth fighting?
