A mystery of the Korean War

PALISADES, NEW YORK, USA, April 17, 2017 /EINPresswire.com/ -- History Publishing Company will release Atomic Cannons and Nuclear Weapons: A Mystery of the Korean War by Arthur G. Sharp on May 2, 2017. The book is, a search for answers that will bring clarity to the question: Was the Korean War actually a second nuclear war? It serves also, as a study of the development and deployment of atomic field weaponry during the Korean War. To that end, the author registers some focus on the M65 cannon “Atomic Annie,” a placement in the U.S. Army’s arsenal during the Cold War in the event a hot war erupted.

Both Presidents Truman and Eisenhower threatened to use nuclear weapons against the North Korean and Chinese Communist forces in Korea. The U.S. Army had “Atomic Annie” in the arsenal; other nuclear devices were shipped from the United States to Guam and Japan during the Korean War ostensibly for use in the war. Author Arthur G. Sharp explores the dynamics of the Korean Conflict as it relates to nuclear war in his forthcoming book Atomic Cannons and Nuclear Weapons to assess the possible or definitive use of the atomic cannon against the North Korean invaders.

“The definite use of the atomic cannon in the Korean War was largely as a psychological weapon,” says the author. “The enemy knew the United States had it and had used it against another enemy in World War II. Since the North Koreans did not have a nuclear weapon, that was definitely something to think about.”
