The Korean War took the lives of 54,262 Americans. While we honor those who died serving our country, we can also challenge the leadership decisions that led to such a bloody conflict.
In this hard-hitting new history, author Richard Masella offers detailed, meticulously researched proof that America could have won the Korean War in the spring of 1951, but our troops were ordered to stand down. The fighting continued, resulting in thousands of senseless deaths. The leaders who prolonged the fighting have blood on their hands, but history books and the American mainstream media have largely censored the truth.
Masella also provides insights into the political climate that led to the United States' involvement in Korea. He examines the administrations of Franklin Roosevelt and Harry Truman and explores how, under their leftist leadership, American politicians began pursuing ties with our greatest ideological enemies.
Masella's book provides a valuable perspective on both the beginnings of the Cold War and its ramifications for modern life. It warns us that anyone who isn't worried about the state of our country isn't paying attention. As China gains power, Americans must understand the foundation of the Communist state and its insidious ties with our government.
