`This richly informed study amply establishes that American global militarism has its origin in the Korean conflict... The lessons are all too pertinent in today's toxic political climate.' -- Noam Chomsky `This is a very important book, an eye-opening one, and a wise one. I read it in one go - fascinated, educated, appalled, amazed and gripped... It lifts the lid on so many things.' -- A. C. Grayling `No book could be more timely or with warnings more necessary to heed, if history is not to be repeated.' -- Geoffrey Robertson QC, author of <i>Crimes Against Humanity</i> `Michael Pembroke's Korea: Where the American Century Began is a brilliant book, meticulously researched, comprehensive and extremely timely. It opens a new dimension of America's continuing war against anything different and esoteric and explains why, after seven decades...the Korean drama remains unsolved.' -- Dr Leonid Petrov, Australian National University `Compulsory material for anyone who wonders how the situation on the Korean peninsula deteriorated to the point it has today.' -- Richard Broinowski, former Australian Ambassador to South Korea
