This is a superb work that bridges international and social history, underpinned by highly impressive research, to make arguments of real importance for our understanding of the Cold War.--Rana Mitter Diplomatic History (09/18/2015) An original and important book, which challenges established truths and significantly adds to our understanding of the early Cold War. Masuda's work is a useful corrective to histories of the Korean War that focus mainly on U.S. perspectives. Cold War history at its best!--Odd Arne Westad, author of Restless Empire: China and the World since 1750 Cold War Crucible builds on both the traditional approach to diplomatic history and the so-called 'cultural turn.'
