Historians often refer to the Korean War as the forgotten war, but Edwards argues that in many respects it is a conflict that has been deliberately ignored for the past fifty years. This broad look at the war examines how Americans have attempted to remember and commemorate the confrontation which played such a major role in America's Cold War experience. As a United Nations effort or Police Action, the hazy identification of the war has in part contributed to a lack of public understanding of what happened in Korea. This book considers the American response to the loss in Korea, and how this response played out as a failure to remember.

After discussing the phenomenon of historical absence, the essays turn to the still considerable disagreement about who started the war and why. They provide the latest information concerning the relationship between Chairman Mao, Premier Kim Il Sung, and Chairman Joseph Stalin at the outbreak of the conflict. Edwards identifies lesser known figures and comments on operations that are not generally known or discussed. He discusses the impact that revisionist historians have had on our views of the war and why it produced a cease-fire rather than a peace treaty. The study also places this still unresolved conflict in the context of multi-national forces and peacekeeping actions as we understand them today.

This enthralling book traces the story of fundamental physics, explaining the latest theories of the nature and structure of space, time and matter. Starting from first principles, the author takes the reader step by step through successively deeper levels of physics in a clear, logical fashion, emphasizing understanding of the phenomena he describes. Everyone with a desire to discover more about the way theoretical physicists look at the world will want to read this book, and will experience a growing sense of wonder as the story unfolds. By concentrating on the elegant concepts underlying the subject and avoiding complex mathematical detail, the author is able to tell a story accessible to higher-school pupils and undergraduates, and general readers with a scientific background.
