The armistice that was signed at that time remains the poignant symbol of an incomplete conclusion – of a war that retains a distinct possibility of resuming at short notice. So what did Australia contribute to the Korean War from June 1950 to July 1953? What were the Australians doing there? How significant was the contribution and what difference did it make? What has that meant for Australia since then, and what might that mean for Australia into the future? Australians served at sea, on land and in the air alongside their United Nations partners during the war. They fought with distinction, from bitterly cold mountain tops, to the frozen decks of aircraft carriers and in dogfights overhead. This book includes the perspectives of leading academics, practitioners and veterans contributing fresh ideas on the conduct and legacy of the Korean War. International perspectives from allies and adversaries provide contrasting counterpoints that help create a more nuanced understanding of Australia’s relatively small but nonetheless important contribution of forces in the Korean War. The book finishes with some reflections on implications that the Korean War still carries for Australia and the world to this day."Korean War, 1950-1953Participation, AustralianAustraliaForeign relationsKoreaKorea (North)Politics and governmentKorea (South)Politics and governmentKorean WarAustraliamilitary historyAustralian historyKorean War, 1950-1953Participation, Australian.951.9042Blaxland Johnedt1371874Blaxland John Charles1963-Kelly MichaelHiggins Liam BrewinMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910387757103321In from the cold3401623UNINA
