{"product_id":"the-korean-war-in-britain-grace-huxford-9781526118950","title":"The Korean War in Britain: Citizenship, Selfhood and Forgetting","description":"The Korean War in Britain explores the social and cultural impact of the Korean War (1950-53) on Britain. Coming just five years after the ravages of the Second World War, Korea was a deeply unsettling moment in post-war British history. From allegations about American use of 'germ' warfare to anxiety over Communist use of 'brainwashing' and treachery at home, the Korean War precipitated a series of short-lived panics in 1950s Britain. But by the time of its uneasy ceasefire in 1953, the war was becoming increasingly forgotten. Using Mass Observation surveys, letters, diaries and a wide range of under-explored contemporary material, this book charts the war's changing position in British popular imagination and asks how it became known as the 'Forgotten War'. It explores the war in a variety of viewpoints - conscript, POW, protester and veteran - and is essential reading for anyone interested in Britain's Cold War past.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Grace Huxford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1526118955\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781526118950\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/02\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.70w x 0.90d","brand":"Grace Huxford","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47637250638079,"sku":"9781526118950","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6102e812-25fe-4a69-ac24-b03a233657a0.jpg?v=1765114959","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-korean-war-in-britain-grace-huxford-9781526118950","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
