This invaluable encyclopedia covers all aspects of the conflict in Korea, principally from 1945 to the present. Conflict in Korea features A-Z entries, many of them illustrated, and covers people, events, places, political parties, treaties and agreements, the origins of the conflict, and the involvement of the superpowers, China, and the United Nations. A substantial number of the entries deal with the Korean War itself, but many others focus on developments since the cease-fire of July 1953. Entries cover topics such as abductions and assassinations; the "axe murders" of 1976; border incidents along the 38th parallel; defections, the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ); espionage, family reunions, food shortages, and the Korean War in literature and film. Of further use to readers are a chronology, maps, bibliography, and subject index. * A-Z entries, many of them illustrated, cover everything from people, places, and political parties, to the origins of the conflict, and the involvement of other nations * A chronology, maps, bibliography, and subject index are also included.
