Abstract: seized an American cargo vessel and its 40-man crew. In August 1976, North Korean forces killed two U.S. officers engaged in a tree-trimming detail in the tense north-south border area. How the Ford administration handled these "low-intensity crises" (p. xix) receives detailed scrutiny from three U.S. military officers associated with the National Defense University. Drawing on extensive inside information-including interviews with former President Ford and Secretary of State Kissinger-the authors show how the U.S. response was affected by such factors as "key policy makers' belief systems and the unique situational context" (p. 243), and the limits of available information.
