From book introduction:
On June 25, 1950, nearly seven divisions of elite North Korean troops, many of whom had fought for the Communist side in the Chinese civil war, crossed the border into South Korea, with the intension of conquering the entire south in three weeks. Some six months earlier, Secretary of State Dean Acheson, in a colossal gaffee, had neglected to include South Korea in America's Asian defense perimeter, and the only American forces then in the country, part of a tiny advisory mission, were almost completely unprepared for the attack. In the early weeks of the invasion, the Communist offensive was a stunning success. Every bit of news from the battlefield was negative. In Washington, President Harry Truman and his top advisors debated the enemy's intensions. Was this, as they greatly feared, an assault ordered up by the Russians? Were the North Koreans nothing but Moscow's pawns? Or was it a feint, the first in a series of what might be provocative Communist moves around the world?… Read More

From Foreword in the book:
Readers of this volume will quickly perceive that it offers them a special treat. As Count Gurowski was the inimitable purveyor of masculine gossip in Washington during the Civil War, Mrs. Maria Lydig Daly was a inimitable purveyor of the feminine gossip of New York. Like the Count, she knew a great many important peope, and heard much at first hand of historic occurrences. Her record, if read "tolerantly" and with a "proper sense of humor", is endlessly entertaining. That she was a very "silly woman" at times quickly becomes evident, but it is equally clear that she was "goodhearted", and her "inanities and follies" can be overlooked for the value of her "clear-eyed observation" of the social scene, her numerous good stories, and her occasional flashes of shrewd insight.
