Description: "Published on the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Korean War, this book presents the most authoritative and comprehensive recounting to date of the secret UN war fought deep behind communist lines. It is a disturbing account by any standard, replete with tragedy, heroism, and scandal. But of special concern are the author's revelations of the bitter bureaucratic feuding that occurred between senior U.S.

Army officers and CIA station chiefs in Japan - feuding that Haas says squandered the sacrifices made by Korean partisans and their American advisers, British commandos, U.S. Navy frogmen, and CIA field operatives."--BOOK JACKET.
