SUMMARY
Concentrating on U.S. concerns for credibility abroad, Stueck uses recently declassified documents and many interviews to analyze the origins of the Sino-American confrontation in Korea in late 1950. He demonstrates how personalities (Secretary of State Marshall and General MacArthur) and bureaucracies (the State Department and the Joint Chiefs of Staff) influenced policy development and how congressional penny-pinching reduced prospects for a prudent American course in Korea.Stueck, William W., Jr. is the author of 'The Road to Confrontation: American Policy toward China and Korea, 1947-1950', published 1981 under ISBN 9780807840801 and ISBN 0807840807.
