description: After more than two years of bitter negotiations during which combatants &amp; civilians continued to suffer casualties, the Korean armistice was concluded in July 1953. Focusing on the Americans formulation of negotiating positions &amp; on their attempts to coordinate political goals with military tactics, Rosemary Foot here charts the tortuous path to peace &amp; offers a new explanation for the agonizing length of the talks. She also takes into account the role of the Western allies &amp; the Indian, South Korean, North Korean, &amp; Chinese governments as she examines the complex international setting in which the armistice took place.
