Description

"A neglected war in the history of the United States, the Korean Conflict played a key role in greatly expanding America's commitments worldwide. It also contributed to the United States' decision to engage in direct military action in Vietnam fifteen years later. This up-to-date analysis is a ready-reference guide to the Korean War, designed to help high school and college students understand the causes, events, and implications of the war."--BOOK JACKET.

First Sentence

On Sunday, June 25 (Korean time), 1950, the armed forces of North Korea attacked South Korea below the 38th parallel, which had divided the Korean peninsula since the end of World War II.
