Book excerpt: Open hostilities in the Korean War ended on the 27th of July 1953. The armistice that was signed at that time remains the poignant symbol of an incomplete conclusion – of a war that retains a distinct possibility of resuming at short notice. So what did Australia contribute to the Korean War from June 1950 to July 1953? What were the Australians doing there? How significant was the contribution and what difference did it make? What has that meant for Australia since then, and what might that mean for Australia into the future? Australians served at sea, on land and in the air alongside their United Nations partners during the war. They fought with distinction, from bitterly cold mountain tops, to the frozen decks of aircraft carriers and in dogfights overhead. This book includes the perspectives of leading academics, practitioners and veterans contributing fresh ideas on the conduct and legacy of the Korean War. International perspectives from allies and adversaries provide contrasting counterpoints that help create a more nuanced understanding of Australia’s relatively small but nonetheless important contribution of forces in the Korean War. The book finishes with some reflections on implications that the Korean War still carries for Australia and the world to this day.

Download or read book A Different Sort of War written by Richard Trembath and published by Arcadia. This book was released on 2005 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Korean War, 1950-1953, occupies a doubtful position in contemporary history and also in Australian military tradition. For Australia the Korean War meant having to make difficult choices about participation and the scale of our participation. This book explores the reasons why Korea has repeatedly been called 'the forgotten war'. Much of the book looks at the experiences of those who served in Korea. They are the end of a line that stretches back to the colonial era and the Maori wars. The book lays bare the motivation of these men as well as their experiences of combat, the landscape, other cultures, friend and enemy, and significantly, whether these servicemen saw their contribution to the Korean war as significant, as having meaning. The stories range in tone from patriotic to poignant and go some way towards restoring the Korean War's place in Australian history.

Book excerpt: Vet, Korea, biography "I really don't want to go to Korea! It's a freezing cold, colourless place where people only wear khaki and fight wars!" For two fourth generation Australians in the early 1970's, the only vision of Korea they had was from recalling newspaper articles about the Korean War in the 1950's, when many Australians died of the cold as well as the war. That image of Korea was imprinted on their mind, and it was the last place in the world the wife wanted to go to. However, they had just been offered an opportunity to go and work there as lay missionaries. This is the story of how accepting that offer in blind faith completely changed their concept of Korea and unbelievably enriched their life journey, including their family, and grandchildren, in fact forever.

Download or read book Korea and the Evolution of the American Australian Relationship 1947 53 written by Daniel Fazio and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-09-29 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fazio examines the significance of the US-Australian Korean engagement, 1947–53, in the evolution of the relationship between the two nations in the formative years of the Cold War. In the aftermath of World War Two, divergent American and Australian strategic and security interests converged and then aligned on the Korean peninsula. Fazio argues that the interactions between key US and Australian officials throughout their Korean engagement were crucial to shaping the nature of the evolving relationship and the making of the alliance between the two nations. The diplomacy of Percy Spender, John Foster Dulles, and James Plimsoll was particularly crucial. He demonstrates that the American evaluation of the geo-strategic significance of Korea was a significant factor in the making of the ANZUS alliance and events in Korea remained central to the evolving US-Australian relationship. Their Korean engagement showed the US and Australia had similar and overlapping, rather than identical interests, and that their relationship was much more nuanced and problematic than commonly perceived. Fazio challenges the Australian mythology on the origins of the ANZUS Treaty and presents a cautionary insight into the limits of Australia’s capacity to influence US policy to benefit its interests. An insightful read for diplomatic historians, providing greater depth to understanding the broader historical context of the trajectory of the US-Australian relationship and alliance since the beginning of the Cold War.
