Book excerpt: "This first volume is concerned with the decision of Mr. Attlee's government to commit land as well as sea and limited air forces to the Korean War, and the British part, in association with members of the Commonwealth, in operations and in political initiatives to bring the war rapidly to an end. It concludes at the point of failure in both endeavors. The second volume will open with an evaluation of that unsuccessful strategy which will serve also as a means of continuity between the two parts. The extent to which the British contribution, within the United Nations extended effort between 1951-1953, was successful will thereafter be recounted"--P. ix., v. 1.
