Spurr focuses on the crucial six-month period from August, 1950, when China first deliberated intervention (the North Korean attack began two months before, on June 25th), through her first, unexpected strike in October, to her standstill at the end of January, 1951. The reader gets a grounding in the major events that shaped Chinese and Korean history, and a better understanding of both countries' troubled relations with Soviet and Japanese neighbors.
