Decision in Korea, first published in 1954, is, as the author states, “a reporter's survey” of the Korean conflict from its beginning through the first half year of the armistice. In scope, author Poats provides an excellent overview of the larger military and political aspects of the war, interspersed with personal stories of its fighting men and political leaders. Today, the book remains a useful, clearly written reference for explaining this confusing, tragic conflict. Rutherford Poats was head of the Japan bureau of the United Press and spent much time with United Nations forces in Korea during the fighting and peace-process. Included in this new edition are 4 maps and the complete text of the Armistice agreement. |
