“[A] frank, instructive and, on the whole, well-written account of the problems, both military and political, which faced General Mark Clark between May 1952, when he was appointed Commander of United Nations Forces in Korea, and the signing of the armistice in July 1953... the book is... a combination of military prowess, honesty of purpose, and considerable political sagacity.” — G. L. Goodwin, International Affairs
“General Clark firmly believes that ‘we could have obtained better truce terms quicker, shortened the war and saved lives if we had got tough sooner.’ His book explains why he thought so and gives as well detailed accounts of the prisoner of war controversy, truce negotiations, relations with President Syngman Rhee, and other matters of administration... the honest opinions of a good soldier who obeyed orders even when they were contrary to his deepest convictions.” — F. H. Soward, International Journal
“General Clark gives a blow-by-blow account of the Korean negotiations leading up to the armistice... General Clark speaks for those Americans who deplore ‘soft’ handling of Communism and feel that peace will come to us only if we are strong, if the Russians and their followers know we are strong, and if they are convinced we have the determination and courage to use that strength both politically and militarily to achieve victory.” — John D. Billingsley, Ordnance
“[A] book that should be read by every American citizen who wishes to be well informed on the subject of dealing with the Communists... a fascinating account of the first two years of the cold war.” — John E. Kiefer, Military Affairs
