Bloomsbury presents Korea: War Without End by Richard Dannatt and Robert Lyman, read by Mark Elstob

A ground-breaking history of this global conflict including the errors and miscalculations made on both sides.

Korea: War Without End examines the stand-off between East and West in Korea that ultimately defined the second half of the 20th century. It provides a critical analysis of the lack of preparation by the West for war; the results of the North Korean invasion in June 1950; the counter-stroke by MacArthur in September and then the strategic overreach which led to communist China’s involvement on the North Korean side, and the rapid escalation to consideration of the use of nuclear weapons.

Through meticulous analysis of all the source material, this book details the chaos of political decision-making at the war’s outset and as it progressed. The Korean War was not planned as a Communist offensive against the West. In turn, the East did not understand the principle at the core of the Western response to Kim Il-sung’s aggression, namely a refusal to appease an aggressor, the key mistake the West considered to be at the heart of the rise of Nazi Germany and militaristic Japan in the 1930s.

Korea: War Without End also considers the effect of the fighting on civilians. While the war was a proxy one between East and West, the people of Korea suffered immensely, with approximately 3 million war fatalities and a larger proportional civilian death toll than World War II. This is the definitive history of the conflict that is long overdue.©2023 Robert Lyman (P)2025 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

批評家のレビュー

Compelling, highly thought-provoking and timely.
By turns insightful and exciting, profoundly researched and well written, this book forces us to rethink the Korean War completely… With the challenges posed by modern China and the choices faced by Ukraine today, this book has a pressing modern relevance.
A compelling new history of the Korean War... provides superb new insights, reflections, and lessons of enormous relevance to the contemporary situation in east Asia. Korea: War Without End is aptly titled and a must read for all who are focused on the Asia Pacific, the most important theatre in today’s world.
An important book.
Dannatt and Lyman have produced a brilliant military history which does justice to this complex and misunderstood war.
A fascinating take on the Korean War. (Taylor Downing)
