Cold War by Captivating History

Cold War by Captivating History

Explore the Cold War and Get a Deeper Understanding of the Korean and Vietnam War

Two captivating manuscripts in one book:

• Korean War: A Captivating Guide to Korean War History
• Vietnam War: A Captivating Guide to the Second Indochina War

The narrative of the Korean War in the West, and particularly in the United States, tells the tale of a conflict between two global superpowers and competing ideologies in a far-flung corner of the globe.

The reality is that the wheels of motion that drove the country to war in 1950 began turning long before American boots set foot on Korean soil. The heart of the conflict was a civil war between a population arbitrarily divided by colonization and the global geopolitics at the end of the Second World War.

Part one of this book is about an often-forgotten war, fighting for its place in history between the two behemoths of the Second World War and the Vietnam War, which was no less significant, no less destructive, and had no less impact on the global politics of the twentieth century.

Some of the topics covered in the first part of this book include:

• The Japanese Ascendency: 1910-1945
• A Korea Divided: The US Occupation of the South
• The Forging of the North Korean State
• First Blood: The Outbreak of War
• Strike Hard and Strike Fast: The US Retreat
• Bittersweet Victories: American Revival and China
