At the heart of the book are the individual stories of the soldiers on the front lines who were left to deal with the consequences of the dangerous misjudgements and competing agendas of powerful men. He provides astonishingly vivid and nuanced portraits of all the major figures Eisenhower, Truman, Acheson, Kim, and Mao, and Generals MacArthur, Almond, and Ridgway.

The Coldest Winter changes that, giving readers a masterful narrative of the political decisions and miscalculations on both sides. *** ABOUT THIS BOOK: Up until now, the Korean War has been the black hole of modern American history. *** CONDITION: This book is in new condition. ![]() *** PUBLISHING DETAILS: Macmillan, UK, 2008. ![]()
