Review title: Tattered Thesis
Product review: Cumings is called a 'revisionist' historian. Well, as all history is revision, the label means little. It's better to say simply that in this book Cumings is wrong. His thesis about the beginnings of the Korean War - that it was a civil war started by the South - has been stripped bare for all to see since the destruction of the USSR and the subsequent opening of her archives. They show how South Korea was the victim of an international Communist hit squad organized by Kim Il Sung, Mao and Stalin. Visit the Cold War International History Project's collection about the Korean War to see how incorrect Cumings' revision was. Those who've positively reviewed this book don't know about this, don't care, or have an ideological axe to grind. Perhaps it's all three.
