SynopsisIn the fifty years since the end of the Korean War, cold war ideologies have disappeared, and extensive collections of previously unseen documents, particularly from archives in the former Soviet Union, are now available. William Stueck has joined with five other distinguished historians to present the newest perspectives on the Korean War, each focusing on Korea's relationship to another world power at the time of the conflict in order to illuminate the war's larger role in modern history., The Korean War in World History features the accomplishments of noted scholars over the last decade and lays the groundwork for the next generation of scholarship. These essays present the latest thinking on the Korean War, focusing on the relationship of one country to the war. William Stueck's introduction and conclusion link each essay to the rich historiography of the event and suggest the war's place within the history of the twentieth century. The Korean War had two very different faces. On one level the conflict was local, growing out of the internal conditions of Korea and fought almost entirely within the confines of a small Asian country located far from Europe. The fighting pitted Korean against Korean in a struggle to determine the balance of political power within the country. Yet the war had a huge impact on the international politics of the Cold War. Combat threatened to extend well beyond the peninsula, potentially igniting another global conflagration and leaving in its wake a much escalated arms race between the Western and Eastern blocs. The dynamics of that division remain today, threatening international peace and security in the twenty-first century. Contributors: Lloyd Gardner, Chen Jian, Allan R. Millett, Michael Schaller, and Kathryn Weathersby, The Korean War in World History features the accomplishments of noted scholars over the last decade and lays the groundwork for the next generation of scholarship.
