Download or read book Call Sign: Purple Three - Patrolling the US Sector of the Korean DMZ written by Mark Heathco and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-04-13 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although a cease-fire agreement was signed in Panmunjeom on July 27, 1953, fighting between North and South Korea never stopped. The hot war was replaced by a low-intensity war. Terrorism, assassinations, infiltration of spies, and the like replaced tank battles and artillery duels. Until 1993, the United States patrolled its sector of the DMZ (demilitarized zone) in South Korea. In Call Sign: Purple Three, author Mark Heathco, who pulled 385 missions inside the DMZ during his military career, describes the preparation for a dangerous patrol in August 1985. This memoir follows the soldiers as they arrive at Warrior Base, refit for war, and finally execute the patrol itself. With great detail, Call Sign: Purple Three provides keen insight into the Korean DMZ at a time when the world thought all was well in Korea, but in reality chaos was just a hair trigger away. This insiderÕs memoir offers an understanding of what these soldiers did and the sacrifices they made.

This book was released on 2007-09 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2006 in the subject Orientalism / Sinology - Miscellaneous, grade: A+, Ewha Womans University (International Cyber University), course: Geography of Korea, 13 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: The task on which this paper is based, was to explore a specific aspect of the Korean geography. Thus, as part of the geography of Korea, the Demilitarized Zone, which separates North Korea and South Korea, was chosen. This place is especially interesting for German people because for nearly 40 years one of the most obvious cases of spatial segregation through ideologies was Germany's separation manifested in the Berlin Wall. The aim of this paper is to give an overview over the most important aspects related to the Demilitarized Zone. Therefore, in the main part some basic facts about South and North Korea will be introduced, followed by an analysis of the zone itself, which is separated in two parts. The first part deals with the history of the separation of the Koreas, while the second part describes the location. At the end of the paper a conclusion will be drawn.
Book Synopsis DMZ Operations in Korea by : James H. Bradley
Download or read book DMZ Operations in Korea written by James H. Bradley and published by . This book was released on 1968 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the Truce was signed in July 1953 between North Korea and the United Nations Forces, American and South Korean troops have conducted a 24-hour vigil along the Military Demarcation Line. The Military Demarcation Line (MDL) represents the Line of Contact between the opposing forces at the time the Truce was signed. The MDL runs generally east and went across the peninsula of Korea. According to the terms of the Truce, both forces agreed to pull back 2000 meters from this line, thus forming the Demilitarized Zone(DMZ). On the North Korean side, 2000 meters from the MDL, is the North Trace, which is a single strand of barbed wire with signs printed in Korean and Chinese. Two thousand meters south of the MDL is the South Trace or South Tape, which consists of two strands of barbed wire and signs painted International Orange and printed in English and Korean.

Book excerpt: Four kilometers wide and stretching 250 km from the East Sea to the West Sea, the Korean Demilitarized Zone divides the Korean Peninsula roughly in half, with the Republic of Korea to the south and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea to the north. Born of the fratricidal Korean War, it is perhaps the oldest continuous symbol of the Cold War and a tense border separating the two halves of the world's last divided nation, where democracy and communism still glare at one another in mutual animosity. Nowhere is this more evident than at the Joint Security Area (JSA) near the so-called "truce village" of Panmunjeom, where South Korean and North Korean soldiers stand practically face to face, the hostility almost palpable.
Book Synopsis The Devil's Playground by : Gary L. Bloomfield
Download or read book The Devil's Playground written by Gary L. Bloomfield and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-09-05 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Devil's Playground is a timely account of what it is like to serve along perhaps the most dangerous and sensitive strip of land in the world. In recent months two bullet-riddled attempted escapes from North to South brought worldwide headlines. And with Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un exchanging threats, the world hopes for a diplomatic solution, but watches with bated breath. Author Gary L. Bloomfield, a military journalist in what is called “the demilitarized” zone between North and South Korea in the 1970s, combines his personal experience with interviews and historical insights to present a fresh, up-to-date, account of what it is like to serve on perhaps the most contentious strip of land in the world today. The Devil’s Playground combines history with current events that today have the rest of the world watching, hoping there is no explosion, which could lead to a nuclear war. While world attention is focused on the Koreas, few people understand what is at stake and what happens there every day. Here is the unfiltered answer. Formed in 1953 after the Korean War ended in a stalemate, the demilitarized zone is anything but. It is in fact one of the most heavily-armed regions in the world--a powder keg just waiting for someone to light the fuse. There have been more than 40,000 truce violations ranging from minor fisticuffs to brutal killings, from moving heavy artillery into the zone to assassination attempts in downtown Seoul since the Armistice Agreement was signed. The demilitarized zone is also the focus of an intense propaganda war—with thousands of flyers sent across the border each year from both sides. Few people realize that over the years North Korea has trained 100,000 men for guerrilla warfare across the border, and it is unknown how many have already secreted themselves in South Korea. It is the duty of the American and South Korean soldiers there to stop them. Gary Bloomfield presents here the first unvarnished accounts of the tension and the impact serving on the line can bring. Just one example: Though firefights are rare, US soldiers often hear North Korean soldiers and their laughter and the taunts, but they rarely see their tormentors. Life along the demilitarized zone is a war of nerves, a game of cat and mouse, though it’s hard to tell who’s chasing whom. Bloomfield covers it all in unsparing detail and offers fascinating previously little-known details. Life along the demilitarized zone is a war of nerves, a game of cat and mouse, though it’s hard to tell who’s chasing whom. Bloomfield covers it all in unsparing detail and offers fascinating details. Here is Guardpost Ouellette, which some American soldiers call the edge of the world; or Radar Site #4, overlooking the truce village of PanMunJom to the west, a hilltop where the tension is thick 24 hours a day; deadly minefields and miles of razor-sharp concertina wire and the desperate people who try of pass over them. Here also are the trigger-happy, shoot-to-kill sentries along the border on both sides; concrete bunkers with 24-hour guards armed with machine-guns, and spotlights, trip flares and other sensing devices concealed everywhere add to the heavily-fortified barrier against a North Korean attack. And of course the details of the Tree Incident in 1976, which nearly triggered World War III. The Devil's Playground is a living history with the spit of real life and a vivid look at brinksmanship in its most precarious state.

Book Synopsis Inside the DMZ by : Christopher Washington
Download or read book Inside the DMZ written by Christopher Washington and published by . This book was released on 2019-11-06 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The year is 1964, and Korea is still at war. A peace treaty has never been signed. The forces of the United Nations and the Republic of South Korea on one side and the army of North Korea on the other are not actively engaged in combat, but they still oppose each other every day. This situation has existed since a truce was signed on July 27, 1953. The fragile truce between North and South Korea still exists today. U.S. military personnel bravely continue to serve in the unique position of being squarely between two opposing nations. They work in an area where one wrong move or one loss of self-control on the part of any person, whether a private or a general, could sever the truce and start both sides shooting at each other once again. "Inside the DMZ" looks at perhaps the only U.S. military group in the world that performs duty jointly with its enemy. Christopher Washington shares his military experiences in Korea's Demilitarized Zone during 1964 through the eyes of a young, black, American man, keenly aware of where he comes from and what he knows.
Download or read book DMZ written by Alasdair Foster and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is Jongwoo Park's photo-documentation of the Demilitarized Zone or DMZ of Korea, the strip of land dividing North and South Korea. About 248 km long, 4 km wide, and 60 km from Seoul, this buffer zone between the two countries is, despite its name, one of the most militarized borders in the world, operating under strict armistice conditions following the end of the Korean War in 1953. In 2009 the South Korean Ministry of National Defense invited Park to document the DMZ, an area normally inaccessible to civilians and of which no comprehensive photographic record existed. Park did so rigorously until 2012, although the project proved a complex administrative undertaking involving detailed negotiations and planning. An unlikely tension energizes Park's series: the contrast between military presence (seen through barbed wire, outposts, and armed troops which have led to sporadic violence), and the natural beauty of the DMZ. For the isolation of this diverse landscape has allowed it to largely revert to its original state; today it is recognized as one of the world's best-preserved temperate habitats and home to several endangered species of flora and fauna.
Download or read book North of the DMZ written by Andrei Lankov and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-01-10 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Kim dynasty has ruled North Korea for over 60 years. Most of that period has found the country suffering under mature Stalinism characterized by manipulation, brutality and tight social control. Nevertheless, some citizens of Kim Jong Il's regime manage to transcend his tyranny in their daily existence. This book describes that difficult but f existence and the world that the North Koreans have created for themselves in the face of oppression. Many features of this world are unique and even bizarre. But they have been created by the citizens to reflect their own ideas and values, in sharp contrast to the world forced upon them by a totalitarian system. Opening chapters introduce the political system and the extent to which it permeates citizens' daily lives, from the personal status badges they wear to the nationalized distribution of the food they eat. Chapters discussing the schools, the economic system, and family life dispel the myth of the workers' paradise that North Korea attempts to perpetuate. In these chapters the intricacies of daily life in a totalitarian dictatorship are seen through the eyes of defectors whose anecdotes constitute an important portion of the material. The closing chapter treats at length the significant changes that have taken place in North Korea over the last decade, concluding that these changes will lead to the quiet but inevitable death of North Korean Stalinism. Instructors considering this book for use in a course may request an examination copy here.

Book excerpt: This book is about how the Korea War developed and the Demilitarized zone (DMZ) was created, and how I had served under frequent attacks by the enemy. The Korea was liberated by America but divided in north and south, and then the North invaded the South on June, 1950. Following the cease fire on 1953, the DMZ was born by the Military Armistice Agreement. Unfortunately the Korean DMZ stands still to this day and the constant dangers from the North Korea have been escalating since the North Korea intimidates the South and the world with possible nuclear weapon.

This book was released on 2017-11-07 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *Includes pictures *Includes accounts describing the DMZ *Includes online resources and a bibliography for further reading During the Moscow Conference in December 1945, the victorious Allies agreed that the United States, the Soviet Union, Great Britain, and the Republic of China would hold equal shares of control over the Korean Peninsula for up to 5 years before allowing Korea its independence. Most locals, barring the Soviet-endorsed Communist Party, opposed the trusteeship immediately. Apprehensive of another civilian insurrection, Soviet and American officials brokered talks to merge the administrations, but its progress was hindered by trouble brewed by the restless locals, as well as the tension that reached a crescendo in the impending Cold War. In the meantime, the enmity between the north and the south continued to sour. Those displeased by their local politics, as well as those who predicted the forthcoming cataclysm, hopped the border before it was too late. By May of 1946, authorities on both ends declared that anyone else who dared cross the 38th parallel without a permit would be guilty of trespassing and duly penalized for their crime. The Korean War was a watershed event for a number of reasons. Not only was it considered the first military action of the Cold War, as well as one of the first to utilize jet planes kitted out with bombs and missiles, the United Nations immersed itself in the precarious politics of warfare for the very first time. A total of 41 countries gifted shiploads of provisions and equipment to South Korea. Another 16 countries provided their own soldiers to serve as backup for the South Koreans. Their mission, put simply, was to extinguish Communism on the peninsula once and for all. After a series of heated, but unproductive negotiations that lasted 2 brutal years and 17 miserable days, North Korea and South Korea found themselves locked in a stalemate. Finally, on July 27, 1953, representatives from both parties gathered at the village of Panmunjom, located on a semi-neutral zone by the border. Here, they devised a document entitled the "Korean Armistice Agreement," and scrawled their names across the bottom of the parchment, calling for a ceasefire, effective immediately. In essence, this agreement was no more than a truce, for there were no victors. The agreement merely ensured "a suspension of open hostilities," a "transfer of POWs," and lastly, the formal establishment of the demilitarization zone, better known as the "DMZ." To this day, no peace treaty has ever been signed. Despite the fact the border between North Korea and South Korea remains tense, and former President Bill Clinton once branded it the "scariest place on Earth," more than 7.5 million tourists have visited the notorious demilitarized zone for one reason or another. There, they gazed upon a treacherous, but evidently intriguing strip of land, guarded by estranged brothers with a chilling array of weapons directed at one another at all times. The Korean Demilitarized Zone: The History and Legacy of the Border between North Korea and South Korea examines one of the most dangerous locations on the planet. Along with pictures depicting important people, places, and events, you will learn about the notorious DMZ like never before.
