In sobering detail, The Korean War chronicles a US home front agitated by Joseph McCarthy, where absolutist conformity discouraged open inquiry and citizen dissent. Cumings incisively ties our current foreign policy back to Korea: an America with hundreds of permanent military bases abroad, a large standing army, and a permanent national security state at home, the ultimate result of a judicious and limited policy of containment evolving into an ongoing and seemingly endless global crusade.

Great knowledge, not perfectly communicated.
Revisado: 09-07-22
This book is very balanced and full of essential knowledge for understanding this war. However I found it pretty hard to follow. Instead of following events chronologically, it often bounces around different names, places, and events in efforts to emphasize its grander narrative about history, memory, and hypocrisy. It may be easier to follow when reading in book form, but I found myself frequently rewinding and a bit lost. It’s hard to judge but it could be the narrator’s delivery as well.
