The Korean War: A History by Bruce Cumings

5.0

Outstanding. Cumings mostly dispenses with a military accounting of the war's battles and fronts, instead focusing on how the war came to be and how it still persists today. He delivers a thoughtful excavation of Korean history, and how US interests collided and were in turn changed by the conflict. The last book I'll read in 2022 and easily one of my favorites.
