The Origins of the Korean War by Peter Lowe
The impressive Second Edition of this standard study incorporates important new evidence on the origins of the war from Chinese and Russian archives. It reveals that Stalin encouraged the attack on South Korea, but also confirms that the original initiative came from North Korea. Peter Lowe has also written an extended conclusion with a discussion of the Koreas in the late 1990s, and the challenges involved in securing their reunification.'Lowe's excellent book should prove a comprehensive and lucid introduction to its subject, and is particularly welcome given the growing interest in the Cold War at undergraduate level'
