DUST JACKET INTRODUCTION
PUBLISHED ON THE FIFTEENTH ANNIVERSARY OF the Korean War, this highly readable book presents the most authoritative and comprehensive recounting to date of the secret UN war fought deep behind communist lines. Through the extensive use of Department of Defense and Central Intelligence Agency documents declassified exclusively for this work and from interviews he conducted with veterans of the savage air-land-sea campaigns in North Korea and Manchuria, Michael Haas takes the reader into a world still unknown to most historians. 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 Japanfeuding that Haas says squandered the sacrifices made by Korean partisans and their American advisers, British commandos, U.S. Navy frogmen, and CIA field operatives.
A veteran special operations officer and respected author, Colonel Haas is uniquely qualified to analyze this subject and its importance to the development of the modern-day U.S. Special Operations Command. His detailed descriptions of classified operations never before made known to the public will fascinate even those who thought they knew what went on behind communist lines during the war. His careful documentation and realistic presentation will appeal to professionals and general readers alike and assure its acceptance as the definitive study on Korean War special operations.
