Allan R. Millett, "Introduction to the Korean War," The Journal of Military
History 65 (October 2001): 921-936.
This essay provides the interpretive framework for the book on the war that
he is currently writing. He provides several keys to understanding the war
that rests on regional strategic relationships and a Korean civil war
mounted by two irreconcilable revolutionary movements that still maintain
conflicting claims of political legitimacy. The author suggests that many of
the American explanations of events misrepresent the historical truth, but
he does not put 'the blame' for the war on the United States and South
Korea. The fiftieth anniversary of the 'conventional Korean War' offers an
opportunity to reexamine the war's causes, conduct, and consequences,
especially since the war still shapes events on the Korean peninsula.
