Krátky popis
This lucid book should be compulsory reading for anyone who wonders
how the situation on the Korean peninsula has deteriorated to the
point it is today. It demonstrates the truth of the axiom that
unless you know the history, you cannot see the future. The failed
invasion of North Korea by US-led forces in late 1950 and the
unrelenting three-year long bombing campaign of North Korean
cities, towns and villages - `every thing that moved [and] every
brick standing on top of another' - help explain why the Pyongyang
regime is, and always has been, determined to develop a credible
nuclear deterrent.As Alistair Horne once said so wisely `How
different world history would have been if MacArthur had had the
good sense to stop on the 38th parallel. The first Korean War
became the first of America's failed modern wars, and its first
modern war with China. It established the pattern for the next
sixty years and marked the true beginning of the American century -
opening the door to ever-increasing military expenditure, launching
the long era of expanding American global force projection, and
creating the dangerous and festering geopolitical sore that exists
in Northeast Asia today.Washington has not learned the lessons of
history and we are reaping the consequences. Michael Pembroke's
timely book tells the story of the Korean peninsula with compassion
for the people of the North and South, understanding and insight
for the role of China and concern about the past and present role
of the United States.
