| Sumario: | Wedged chronologically between World War II and Vietnam, the Korean War-which began with North Korea's invasion of South Korea in June of 1950-possessed neither the virtuous triumphalism of the former nor the tragic pathos of the latter. Most Americans supported defending South Korea, but there was considerable controversy during the war as to the best means to do so-and the question was at least as exasperating for American army officers as it was for the general public. A longtime historian of American military leadership in the crucible of war, Stephen R. Taaffe takes a close critical look. |
