"A first-class history of the war." -- History Today
"A more expert and specialized attention to military detail than
most other books on the subject, and it provides insight into many
peripheral aspects of the fighting not hitherto explored." --
Virginia Quarterly Review
"A welcome addition, especially because of the inclusion of
Soviet-era documents that clear up several questions concerning the
war." -- Bowling Green Daily News
"Argues that the beginning of the end of the Soviet Union can be
traced to President Harry Truman's 1950 decision to send troops to
the aid of South Korea." -- U.S. Naval Institute Proceedings
"Brings the history of the war into a single handy volume." --
Fayetteville (NC) Observer
"Chinese and Russian documents recently made public have shed new
light on battlefield decisions. Benefiting from this newly
declassified material as well as established sources, Sandler
offers a timely new look at the war." -- Library Journal
"Covers everything you ever wanted to know about the war-torn
peninsula of Korea." -- Proceedings
"Not only gives insight into the war that began in 1950, but points
to its relevance in understanding the present situation in North
and South Korea." -- McCormick Messenger
"Provides a clear, concise, and well-balanced account of the Korean
War." -- Armor
"Provocative.... Throws new light on many aspects of the Korean War
and casts doubt on much conventional wisdom.... Unquestionably and
notably augments the literature on a conflict that decisively
affected the ultimate outcome of the cold war and the fate of
Korea." -- Booklist
"Sander has improved on previous short histories of the war with
his incorporation of the new archival material." -- History
"Sandler has produced a text that is a contender for the
distinction of being the best work in this narrow field." --
Indiana Magazine of History

the Korean War." -- Choice
"The book reads smoothly, and the reader will find much that is
both useful and... thought-provoking." -- Parameters
