“Brothers at War: The Unending Conflict in Korea”

The Korean War, the first major hot war of the Cold War, has yet to end. Today, the essentially continuous war between the Koreas threatens to reach beyond their borders, as North Korea continues to develop nuclear weapons and long-range missiles. How did we get to this point? Based on Dr. Jager's new book, Brothers at War, this talk integrates newly available sources from across the globe into the story of Korean competition and conflict––along with Great Power competition and conflict–– that launched an unending war between two "brothers" with serious ramifications for the rest of the world.
