Bruce Cumings
“It was this war and not World War II which established a far-flung American base structure abroad and a national security state at home, as defence spending nearly quadrupled in the last six months of 1950, and turned the United States into the policeman of the world.”
Bruce Cumings, The Korean War: A History

Bruce Cumings
“Those who suffer terrible wars have a finer sense of when they begin and when they end.”
Bruce Cumings, The Korean War: A History
