Sommario/riassunto |

The Will to Win focuses on the substantial role of US military advisors to the Republic of Korea Army (ROKA) from 1946 until 1953 in one of America's early attempts at nation building.

The work also demonstrates the difficulties inherent in national reconstruction, focusing on barriers in culture and society, and |

In retrospect, the treaties seem like well-ordered steps on the path of dispossession and empire. The reality was far more complicated.
