Publisher Description:

After more than two years of bitter negotiations during which combatants & civilians continued to suffer casualties, the Korean armistice was concluded in July 1953. Focusing on the Americans formulation of negotiating positions & on their attempts to coordinate political goals with military tactics, Rosemary Foot here charts the tortuous path to peace & offers a new explanation for the agonizing length of the talks. She also takes into account the role of the Western allies & the Indian, South Korean, North Korean, & Chinese governments as she examines the complex international setting in which the armistice took place.


Contributor Bio(s): Foot, Rosemary: - Rosemary Foot is Professor of International Relations and John Swire Senior Research Fellow in the International Relations of East Asia St. Antony's College.
