Threats,Assurances,and the Last Chance for Peace 125 new documents from China-Mao's Korean War telegrams to Stalin,Zhou Enlai,and Chinese military commanders in the field-that force a reassess- ment of both positions in the Truman-MacArthur debate.5 A reconsideration of Mao's Korean War strategy in light of these documents and recent work by Chinese scholars reveals new lessons about American coercive diplomacy in Korea.6 The controversy over the "lessons of Korea"has affected American civil- military relations throughout the postwar era.For example,in Vietnam the military evoked MacArthur's lessons about Korea,arguing against civilian interference in bombing operations,while the Johnson administration drew Truman's lessons,strictly controlling American bombing in the North so as not to threaten the Chinese border.The Korean War case has also given rise to a rich literature on deterrence and limited war.Scholars clarify the Truman- MacArthur debate by restating it in terms of the two central concepts of deterrence theory:reassurance,and credibility of threat.Viewing the Novem- ber disaster as a failure of deterrence,these scholars point to a deficiency of one or both elements in American coercive diplomacy.8 5.The documents are bound in a collection of Mao's manuscripts entitled Jianguo Yilai Mao Zedong Wengao (The Manuscripts of Mao Zedong Since The Founding of the Nation),Vols.I-III, September 1949-December 1952(Beijing:Central Documents Publishing House,1987 and 1990). The collection,containing classified documents,is highly restricted in the PRC.Copies are currently available in the West at Harvard University's Yenching Library,among other locations.
