Together, they examine the factors contributing to the war, its brutal trajectory, and its far-reaching impacts on US foreign policy. Despite being little known or understood today, the Korean War continues to exert a long shadow on geopolitics and US foreign policy up to this day. Professor Cumings provides crucial insight into a war that is often misunderstood, forgotten, or willfully ignored yet continues to shape our world.
