Trade Review
"An extraordinarily thoughtful, provocative, and detailed narrative of how the conflict on the peninsula evolved from a 'local war' into a major military confrontation between the United States and Communist China, and how it remained a 'limited war.' It further confirms Millett's position as the world's leading scholar of military history in general and the Korean War history in particular." Chen Jian, author of China's Road to the Korean War "Millett's gripping story vividly captures the most dynamic period of the war.... Essential reading for those who would understand this conflict." Colonel (Ret.) Donald W. Boose, Jr., author of U.S. Army Forces in the Korean War"
