Korean War
 |
Description
Book Introduction
The war that South Korea calls the Korean War Incident is called the "Fatherland Defense War" or the "National Liberation War" in the North, claiming that it was a war to prevent invasion by the United States and the Syngman Rhee government.
The author argues that neither the Korean War nor the Korean Liberation War accurately reflect the fundamental historical facts of the time.
The author gives the meaningless name of the 'Korean War' to the war that lasted from 1950 to 1953, and explains the 'Korean War' objectively, removing ideological bias and making it easy to understand.
It conveys to readers the significance of the events that occurred at that time and shows the impact that the war still has on our society.

Into the book
Cumings views the origins of the Korean War from the perspective of the success of American policy. However, if American policy is considered not just south of the 38th parallel but encompasses the entire Korean Peninsula, can American policy toward Korea truly be considered successful? If American policy was to establish a pro-American regime throughout the Korean Peninsula, would the establishment of a separate government south of the 38th parallel truly be considered a victory for the United States? Can the US military government, which failed to stop Kim Gu and Kim Kyu-sik from heading to North Korea to prevent the establishment of a divided government, truly be considered successful? Was a policy that failed to prevent North Korean invasion truly a successful one? In this sense, Kim Nam-sik's and Song Nam-heon's, despite their data-collection nature, are pioneering studies that focus on internal forces in Korea.
