Beskrivelse
This biography of General Walton H. Walker, details the debacle of the Korean War and how the United States managed to lose that war. It depicts the ways in which General Walker was criticized and scapegoated by General MacArthur, General Edward M. "Ned" Almond, and the myriad of sycophants in Tokyo's headquarters.
Following World War II, American political and military leaders, consumed with hubris, felt the U.S. military was invincible and that all other nations would cower if American said, "Boo!" This book relates the sordid story of the political chicanery and military incompetence that caused the American defeat in Korea.
Intelligent and trenchant military historians acknowledge General Walker's actions were prudent and correct during this ill-conceived mission to act as a "World Police Force."
