Book excerpt: "The Forgotten Conflict: The Korean War's Enduring Impact on History" is a profound exploration of the Korean War, often overshadowed by World War II and the Vietnam War in global consciousness. This book delves into the historical, political, and social ramifications of a conflict that dramatically reshaped the Korean Peninsula and left a lasting imprint on international relations. The narrative commences with an in-depth examination of the geopolitical tensions following World War II that set the stage for the Korean War. It provides a detailed account of the war's origins, from the division of Korea at the 38th parallel to the escalation into a full-scale conflict involving the United States, China, the Soviet Union, and other nations under the United Nations banner. Each chapter meticulously explores key aspects of the war, including major military campaigns, the strategies employed by both the United Nations and Communist forces, and the war's impact on the soldiers and civilians involved. The author presents a comprehensive analysis of the military tactics and technological advancements used during the conflict and their implications for future warfare. A significant portion of the book is dedicated to examining the broader impact of the Korean War. This includes its influence on the Cold War dynamics, shaping policies like containment and the arms race, and its role in solidifying the division of Korea, leading to the ongoing tensions between North and South Korea. "The Forgotten Conflict" also addresses the war's legacy in terms of its impact on international diplomacy, the evolution of the United Nations' role in global conflicts, and the development of U.S. foreign and military policy in the post-war era. The author delves into the social and cultural impacts of the war, both within Korea and internationally, including its representation in media and the collective memory of participating nations. This book is an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand the Korean War's complex legacy. It provides a nuanced and in-depth perspective on a pivotal moment in history that continues to influence global politics and international relations. "The Forgotten Conflict" offers a compelling argument for why the Korean War should be remembered and studied alongside the 20th century's other major conflicts.

Book The Joint Chiefs of Staff and National Policy  1951 1953

Download or read book The Joint Chiefs of Staff and National Policy 1951 1953 written by James F. Schnabel and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Established during World War II to advise the President regarding the strate- gic direction of the armed forces of the United States, the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) continued in existence after the war and, as military advisers and planners, have played a significant role in the development of national policy. Knowledge of JCS relations with the President, the National Security Council, and the Secretary of Defense in the years since World War II is essential to an understanding of their current work. An account of their activity in peacetime and during times of crisis provides, moreover, an important series of chapters in the military history of the United States. For these reasons, the Joint Chiefs of Staff directed that an official history be written for the record. Its value for instructional purposes, for the orientation of officers newly assigned to the JCS organization, and as a source of information for staff studies will be readily recognized.

Book The Three Wars of Lt  Gen  George E  Stratemeyer

Download or read book The Three Wars of Lt Gen George E Stratemeyer written by George E. Stratemeyer and published by Department of the Air Force. This book was released on 1999 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume, we examine the challenges and opportunities created by global migration at the start of the 21st century. Our focus extends beyond economic impact to questions of international law, human rights, and social and political incorporation. We examine immigrant outcomes and policy questions at the global, national, and local levels. Our primary purpose is to connect ethical, legal, and social science scholarship from a variety of disciplines in order to raise questions and generate new insights regarding patterns of migration and the design of useful policy.While the book incorporates studies of the evolution of immigration law globally and over the very long term, as well as considerations of the magnitude and determinants of immigrant flows at the global level, it places particular emphasis on the growth of immigration to the United States in the 1990s and early 2000s and provides new insights on the complex relationships between federal and state politics and regulation, popular misconceptions about the economic and social impacts of immigration, and the status of 'undocumented' immigrants.

Book Ethno diplomacy

Download or read book Ethno diplomacy written by Yitzhak Shichor and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning in 1949, China responded to so-called Uyghur separatism and the quest for Eastern Turkestan (Xinjiang) independence as a domestic problem. Since the mid-1990s, however, when it became aware of the international aspects of this problem, Beijing has begun to pressure Turkey to limit its support for Uyghur activism. Aimed not only at cultural preservation but also at Eastern Turkestan independence, Uyghur activism remained unnoticed until the 1990s, despite the establishment in 1971 of Sino-Turkish diplomatic relations. Possibly less concerned about the Uyghur threat than it suggests, Beijing may simply be using the Uyghurs to intimidate and manipulate Turkey and other governments, primarily those in Central Asia.

Book excerpt: The fourth volume of The Cambridge History of America and the World examines the heights of American global power in the mid-twentieth century and how challenges from at home and abroad altered the United States and its role in the world.

  • Author : Stanley Sandler
  • Publisher : University Press of Kentucky
  • Release : 2014-10-17
  • ISBN : 0813157218
  • Pages : 344 pages

Download or read book The Korean War written by Stanley Sandler and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2014-10-17 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Korean War has been termed "The Forgotten War" or the "Unknown War." It is a conflict which never assumed the mythic character of the American Civil War or World War II. However, this book asserts, it would be impossible to understand the Cold War and indeed post 1945 global history without knowledge of the Korean War. Providing a history of the Korean peninsula before the war and including a detailed analysis of the fighting itself, The Korean War goes beyond the battlefield to deal with the war in the air, ground attack, and air evacuation. The study also evaluates the contributions of the UN naval forces, the impact of the war on various homefronts and issues such as defectors, opposition to the war, racial segregation and integration, POWs and the media. Recently-released Soviet documents are used to assess the role of China, the Soviet Union, North and South Korea and the allied forces in the conflict. This fascinating work offers a unique analysis of the Korean War and will be invaluable to students of twentieth-century history, particularly those concerned with American and Pacific history.

Book The Paths of Heaven The Evolution of Airpower Theory

Download or read book The Paths of Heaven The Evolution of Airpower Theory written by and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Airpower is not widely understood. Even though it has come to play an increasingly important role in both peace and war, the basic concepts that define and govern airpower remain obscure to many people, even to professional military officers. This fact is largely due to fundamental differences of opinion as to whether or not the aircraft has altered the strategies of war or merely its tactics. If the former, then one can see airpower as a revolutionary leap along the continuum of war; but if the latter, then airpower is simply another weapon that joins the arsenal along with the rifle, machine gun, tank, submarine, and radio. This book implicitly assumes that airpower has brought about a revolution in war. It has altered virtually all aspects of war: how it is fought, by whom, against whom, and with what weapons. Flowing from those factors have been changes in training, organization, administration, command and control, and doctrine. War has been fundamentally transformed by the advent of the airplane.
