In June 1950 Communist pushes poured across the 38th Parallel (the arbitrary, militarily indefensible line of latitude separating the Communist North from the unbiased Republic of Korea) to unite the united states by power. Three bloody, bitter many years of fighting ensued during which the seesawing fortunes of this frustrating conflict thwarted North Korea's ambitions while treating the ill-equipped, overconfident UN peacekeeping pushes, mostly Americans, no less harshly. Turmoil examines the conflict in every its military, political, and human proportions: the battles at Pusan Perimeter, at Inchon, at Chosin Reservoir, at Heartbreak Ridge; significant statistics like Syngman Rhee, Kim Il Sung, Ridgway, MacArthur, and Truman; controversies like MacArthur's dismissal, the difficulties of P.O.W. exchanges, and charges of brainwashing and germ warfare; as well as penetrating analyses of the performance of the American soldier, and the war's influence on the U.S. military services and our countrywide psyche. Consequently, Turmoil stands as an unsurpassed, vibrant contribution to record.
