Contents - Conflict In Korea - Reluctant Dragons And Red Conspiracies (While much of what has been written about the Korean War in the last fifty yearrs has been colored by political agendas and a lack of critical information, recent scholarship helps place the first conflict of the Cold War in its proper context); Behind The Lines: The Rangers' Lonely War In Korea (In the spring of 1951 during the height of China's Fifth Phase Offensive, the men of the Eighth Airborne Ranger Company demonstrated that they were worthy heirs to their famous predecessors); MacArthur's Pirate (Douglas MacArthur's daring amphibious assault at Inchon was fraught with perils and possibilities. To improve his chances for success, the U.N. commander turned to Gene Clark, an obscure naby lieutenant, and his tiny band of Korean volunteers); Heroic Defense Of The Hermit Kingdom (Korea's Yi dynasty had successfully maintained its isolation from the rest of the world for centuries. In the 1860s, however, a handful of Catholic missionaries and France would challenge that seclusion); The Smell Of Foreign Powder (In the midst of the Boxer Rebellion several of the participants found time to record their impressions of the chaos around them. Their surviving accounts provide a vivid description of China's failed attempts to rid the land of foreigners); Conscience And Command (The German officer corps' oath of loyality to Adolf Hitler is often cited as the reason why they did not oppose his decision to invade France in 1940. What is often overlooked, however, is the German army's tradition of disobedience for the good of the state); Burnside's Web-Footed Warriors (In early 1862, Ambrose E. Burnside's amphibious operations along the North Carolina coast gave a victory-starved Northern public a reason to rejoice); Thunder At The Gates Of Moscow (Frustrated in his desire to complete his conquest of Russia, Napoleaon Bonaparte believed that by defeating Mikhail Kutuzov's forces outside the tiny village of Borodino he would force Czar Alexander to the peace table) Departments - Forum: Letters To The Editor; Experience Of War: A Missionary Doctor's Story (As the chief surgeon at a small Presbyterian hospital, Paul Crane had a front-row seat to the opening shots of the Korean War and the terrible impact it had on Korea's civilians); Arms And Men: Aircraft Of The Korean War (Advanced jet fighters may have owned the Korean War's skies, but veteran World War II aircraft and even biplanes were also participants in the conflict); Fighting Words: Terms From Military History (Our lexicographer considers some of the vocabulary that arose from the Korean War)
