World War II The Korean War: A Fresh Perspective Forty-five years after shipping out to fight in Korea, Harry Summers got new insight into what the war had been all about. By Colonel Harry G. Summers, Jr., U.S. Army (ret.) Dismissed as the "forgotten war," Korea was in actuality one of America's most significant conflicts. Although born of a misapprehension, the Korean War triggered the buildup of U.S. forces in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), began American involvement in the Vietnam War, and, although seen as an aberration at the time, now serves as the very model for America's wars of the future. One reason the importance of the Korean War is not better appreciated is that from the very start the conflict presented confusing and contradictory messages. Historian and Korean War combat veteran T.R. Fehrenbach wrote in his classic

    Extractions: Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations The Reader's Companion to American History Among the wars of the United States the Korean conflict was the last to utilize conventional strategies, tactics, and weapons. Simultaneously it was the first limited, inconclusive conflict to mix the antagonists of the cold war in the cauldron of a civil war. Until the mid-1960s, most American interpretations of the United States' entry into the war supported the Truman administration's position that the United States had become involved because its honor and credibility were at stake, it felt compelled to contain the Moscow-directed global expansion of communism, and it saw tolerance of North Korean aggression as Munich-like appeasement. But the Vietnam War brought challenges to established views on American foreign and defense affairs, including the Korean War. Most revisionists blamed America and South Korea for precipitating hostilities, argued that the conflict was basically a civil war, and charged that ethnocentrism and economic imperialism had influenced American policymakers on Asia. War erupted in Korea on June 25, 1950, along the thirty-eighth parallel that separated North and South Korea. As North Korean units pushed deep into South Korea, the U.N. Security Council, at the instigation of the United States, condemned the North Korean invasion and later called on members to assist South Korea. That first week, President Harry S. Truman, without seeking congressional approval, committed American forces to the conflict. On July 7, the U.N. Command was established, with General of the Army Douglas MacArthur appointed as its head. The nearest U.S. forces were already under his Far East Command, including in Japan alone four army divisions, the Fifth Air Force, and units of the Seventh Fleet. Eventually nearly 1.8 million Americans would serve in Korea, of whom 54,200 were killed, 103,300 wounded, and 8,200 missing in action. Besides the preponderant American and South Korean forces, military units from fifteen other members of the

The war began when the North Korean Communist army crossed the thirty-eighth parallel on June 25, 1950, invading the Republic of South Korea. The United Nations Security Council, declaring North Korea an aggressor, sent troops to counter the invasion. Gen. Douglas MacArthur led the forces until 1951 when President Harry S. Truman removed him from command for repeated insubordination and replaced him with Gen. Matthew Ridgway. Sixteen nations sent troops and forty-one countries sent food and supplies, but the United States was the largest contributor of arms, troops, and equipment. After pushing the North Korean troops back above the thirty-eighth parallel, MacArthur pursued them into the North, which resulted in the intervention of Chinese troops. The war reached a stalemate in June 1951, and after two years of negotiations an armistice was signed July 27, 1953, with the thirty-eighth parallel designated as the border between North and South Korea.

Material from Russia and China have been especially helpful in adding nuance and detail to now-dated writing about the war’s causes. Much more work needs to be done on Korean politics and the 1952–53 period, but in all the scholarship simply confirms the shared responsibility of all the belligerents – including the Koreans – in starting and continuing the war.

    Extractions: Part One: Prelude to Korea Even though Harry S. Truman ordered that the armed forces were to desegregate at the beginning of the Korean War, most branches save for the infant U.S. Air Force still had segregated units. For most of the soldiers who were black, that meant that they were to go through basic training in a segregated environment from the beginning: When I went to basic training, the Drill Sergeants said, "white troops over here, Black troops over there, and what are you guys?" And they'd say Cuban or Mexican or whatever tribe, and I said, "we're misfits." He said, "Pick a side." (Keaton, p. 2) I went to basic training at Fort Knox, Kentucky in 1948. I didn't finish there; I did eight weeks there and then we were sent to Japan to finish the last eight weeks. I was in Japan two years prior to the Korean War. I was only enlisted to do three years, but because of the Korean War ended up doing four. I was stationed in Camp Yepu, Japan which was all black soldiers. During Basic Training we had white officers, and black non-commissioned officers (NCO's). When we got to Japan we had black officers; it
