I hadn’t heard this rumor. I’m afraid I’m not terribly knowledgeable on the Korean War.

What sort of germ warfare, do you know? Were the rumors suggesting the US military caused civilian epidemics in the North?

On a happier note, welcome to THB.

During the Korean War there were persistent rumors that the United States was engaged in germ warfare. Although these rumors were discounted here in the United States as Communist propaganda, this story of South Korean atrocity makes one wonder.

Hello Jennifer,

I checked out the Gibbs Smith website and enjoyed browsing your titles. I’d be delighted to review “Havana Before Castro”.

I shall email you my shipping information.

Thank you,

Hello.
I am a publicist for a Utah-based book publisher, Gibbs Smith, and I have a history title launching in the next couple of months I’d love for you to possibly review.
If you could kindly send me your contact information, including a shipping address, I’d love to send you a copy of “Havana Before Castro: When Cuba Was a Tropical Playground.”

Thank you for your consideration!
Jennifer King

I’d argue that the Allies only ever had the high ground in WWII because the low ground was so abysmally low. The multiple turning-backs of Jewish refugees, the firebombing of Dresden, the escalating brutality of the war in the Pacific are just a few of the issues historians gloss over when pronouncing WWII a just war.
