Summary: As this volume was in preparation, an incident revealed in stark est terms the clash of two very different cultures, Soviet and American, on the propriety of resort to violence. A political and ethical gulf was never more clearly delineated than in the world reaction to the deliberate Soviet shooting down of a Korean airliner with 269 civilians aboard, including 61 Americans, at 0326 Korean time on September 1, 1983. The regularly scheduled passenger aircraft had strayed off course and passed through Soviet airspace over Kamchatka Peninsula and then over Sakhalin Island. The Korean pilot, apparently unaware of any navigational error, reported to Tokyo at 0323 Korean time that he was on the planned track northeast of Hokkaido, Japan.
