The most important of these began on April 22  1951  and was the largest Communist military operation of the war. The UN forces put up a strong defense  prevented the capture of the South Korean capital of Seoul  and finally pushed the Chinese back above the 38th parallel. After Chinas defeat in this epic five-week battle  Mao Zedong and the Chinese leadership became willing to conclude the war short of total victory. Chinas Battle for Korea offers new perspectives on Chinese decision making  planning  and execution; the roles of command  political control  and technology; and the interaction between Beijing  Pyongyang  and Moscow  while providing valuable insight into Chinese military doctrine and the reasons for the UNs military success.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45651958792245,"sku":"ByrdShop_0253011574","price":43.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780253011572.jpg?v=1781847612","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/chinas-battle-for-korea-the-1951-spring-offensive-twentiethcentury-battles-9780253011572","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
