At the center of this conflict is an ongoing struggle between North and South Korea for the mantle of Korean legitimacy, a “brother’s war,” which continues to fuel tensions on the Korean peninsula and the region.ĭrawing from newly available diplomatic archives in China, South Korea, and the former Soviet Union, Jager analyzes top-level military strategy. Her sweeping narrative ranges from the middle of the Second World War-when Korean independence was fiercely debated between Roosevelt, Stalin, and Churchill-to the present day, as North Korea, with China’s aid, stockpiles nuclear weapons while starving its people. Sheila Miyoshi Jager presents the first comprehensive history of this misunderstood war, one that risks involving the world’s superpowers-again. Sixty years after North Korean troops crossed the 38th parallel into South Korea, the Korean War has not yet ended.
