Reviews
"Stueck has canvassed research libraries in North America, England, and Australia to give us what must stand as the most complete and intelligent international history of the war yet written."--Lloyd Gardner, Reviews in American History "Any serious student of the Korean War will want to read this book for its measured perspectives and concern to contextualize its subject."--Jeffrey Grey, Journal of Military History "Stueck has written an impressive, large-scale synthesis of the entire conflict... [He] excels at describing the intricate diplomatic maneuverings that took place throughout the war, and that were aimed at avoiding a major clash between the great powers."--David Rees, The National Interest "International history does not come much better than this... William Stueck has scoured archives on four continents to produce the most comprehensive, authoritative, and judicious single-volume treatment of the politics and diplomacy of the first major armed clash of the Cold War... The book is a tour de force."--H.W. Brands, Pacific Historical Review
