Beschreibung

The revival of a classic work of journalism which exposes the gap between the official story and reality Proxy wars, it seems, are more openly practiced than ever--and yet one of the worst of these was suppressed and "forgotten" even in its own time. At the height of the McCarthy era and the inception of the Cold War, the great journalist I.F. Stone released The Hidden History of the Korean War, a courageous work of investigative journalism that demolished the official story of America's so-called "forgotten war." As the war spiraled to its conclusion, Stone closely analyzed openly available U.S. intelligence narratives on the war's official start, and the actions of key players like John Foster Dulles, General Douglas MacArthur, and Chiang Kai-shek. The result of his investigations was a controversial book that raised questions about the origin of the war, made a case that the U.S. government had manipulated the United Nations, and gave evidence that the U.S. military and South Korean oligarchy dragged out the war by sabotaging peace talks. With a new introduction by Tim Beal and Greg Elich, 70 years after its initial publication The Hidden History of the Korean War remains a powerful dissemination of the 'hidden history' behind the dominant historical narrative, as relevant as ever.

Über den Autor

Isidor Feinstein Stone (1907-1989), better known as I.F. Stone or Izzy Stone, published more than a dozen books and was considered one of the most influential investigative journalists of the postwar period. He was best known for his self-published journal, I.F. Stone's Weekly, which in 1999 was ranked second in a poll of his fellow journalists of "The Top 100 Works of Journalism in the United States in the 20th Century." He started the weekly after working at the New York Post, The Nation (as editor from 1940 to 1946), and the newspaper PM, covering the New Deal, McCarthyism, the birth of Israel, and the Vietnam War.
