Drawing on recently available materials from seven countries, plus United Nations archives, author and political historian William Stueck argues that the Korean War actually (albeit inadvertently ?) functioned as a substitute for World War III. While conceding the tragic and brutal nature of the war, Stueck suggests, from his research, that it helped to prevent an even more destructive conflict in Europe. Maps.
