这是一本关于一场被误解、遗忘或故意忽略的战争的振奋人心的书。

对美国人来说，这是一场从1950年到1953年的不连续冲突。

但对亚洲世界来说，朝鲜战争是一场持续了几代人的斗争，它仍然困扰着当代的事件。

布鲁斯-库明斯（Bruce Cumings）通过查阅国内外的新证据和秘密材料，包括缴获的北朝鲜文件档案，揭示了这场战争的真实面貌。

他将战争的起源描述为一场内战，早在1950年6月打响第一枪之前，对日本在1910年至1945年期间占领朝鲜的愤怒就已经注定了。

然后，库明斯分享了美国在二战后占领朝鲜的被忽视的历史，揭示了血腥叛乱和反叛的不为人知的故事，并讲述了美国正式加入南方的行动，以前所未有的方式揭露了各方犯下的骇人听闻的屠杀和暴行。

朝鲜战争》文笔优雅，内容坦诚，就像它所揭示的战争一样，简短、具有破坏性，而且至关重要。

A BRACING ACCOUNT OF A WAR THAT IS EITHER MISUNDERSTOOD, FORGOTTEN, OR WILLFULLY IGNORED. For Americans, it was a discrete conflict lasting from 1950 to 1953. But for the Asian world the Korean War was a generations-long struggle that still haunts contemporary events. With access to new evidence and secret materials from both here and abroad, including an archive of captured North Korean documents, Bruce Cumings reveals the war as it was actually fought. He describes its origin as a civil war, preordained long before the first shots were fired in June 1950 by lingering fury over Japan’s occupation of Korea from 1910 to 1945. Cumings then shares the neglected history of America’s post–World War II occupation of Korea, reveals untold stories of bloody insurgencies and rebellions, and tells of the United States officially entering the action on the side of the South, exposing as never before the appalling massacres and atrocities committed on all sides.Elegantly written and blisteringly honest, The Korean War is, like the war it illuminates, brief, devastating, and essential.Praise for The Korean War“A powerful revisionist history . . . a sobering corrective.”—The New York Times“Worth reading . . . This work raises the question of what Korea can tell us about the outlook for Iraq and Afghanistan.”—Financial Times“Well-sourced [and] elegantly presented.”—The Wall Street Journal
