The War for Korea, 1945–1950: A House Burning. By Allan R. Millett. (Lawrence: University Press of Kansas, 2005. xviii, 348 pp. $39.95, ISBN 0-7006-1393-5.)

The War for Korea, 1945–1950 is the most comprehensive account yet published of the development of American policy toward Korea from the end of World War II to the outbreak of war on the Korean peninsula in June 1950. Allan R. Millett, a distinguished military historian, attempts to fill in the "other sides"—the policies of the Republic of Korea (South Korea), the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea), and the Soviet Union—but he is limited by the paucity of available documents of those governments. The U.S. documentary record, on the other hand, is monumental, indeed overwhelming, but Millett has thoroughly mined the military, diplomatic, and White House archives.
