Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book South Korea: Our Story is a book about my personal discovery of the Republic of Korea (South Korea) and its ancient cultural and historical heritage. It is about a land that is both old and new as South Korea and the Korean people reinvent their nation for the twenty-first century. It is a love story where I meet my future wife, Ryoo Hwa Soon. She was one of my students, and because of her, I became more intertwined with the heart and soul of a country. But this story is more than just a tale of self-discovery and finding love. It is about a nation that is in the grip of a power struggle between the forces of freedom and democracy and the forces of Communism. These forces overshadow what is happening not only in South Korea but in Korean communities within the United States itself. This fight is as old as the formation of North and South Korea and still remains the power struggle for the soul of a nation and its people.

Book excerpt: "Korea! This was our turn-our generation's war.".... "The Korean War has been called the 'Forgotten War.' ... For some the war was all too real"... "The First Marine Brigade was heading out into the Pacific once again...We had watched eastern Europe and China fall to the communists. Now the call had come for help from South Korea"... "again our country was going to the aid of its allies." "If the Corps had wanted Marines to have wives they would have been issued."? "Before we married, he told me that the USMC was first in his life."..."The first job for their wives was, as always, to keep the home front going."... "---our job was to care for the children and keep the home running smoothly. There was no whining or 'poor me' attitude. Those feelings better describe a later generation and a later war." (Clearly the fem-inist movement belonged to that later generation.) "I was very young-only 18 in July when we married in 1944."... "Jim and I had gotten married when1was nineteen, and he was twenty-two."... "It was certainly difficult being newly-weds and preparing for war at the same time... "Bill left with the Fifth Marines when the baby was seven weeks old."... "Boots Hansen had a brand new daughter born July 10in the evening just hours before the new father, Dean Hansen' shipped out with the 1at Marine Brigade to Korea" ... "at the time their son was born Marge did not know whether Jim was dead or alive." "They were living on a Pfc's pay and broke. They didn't have enough money for a car." Another was "the young wife of a Pfc, dead broke and seven months pregnant." The officers' wives fared little better. "... we were still making uniform payments, too. Fortunately, Sully was able to cancel the order for his sword... or I'd have been stuck with ... payment son that useless piece of gear, too." "There was still a housing shortage." There was little construction during the war. "a lot of rent properties were ramshackle and inadequate, but hard to find at that." ... "quarters consisted of half a Quonset, furnished,.." Homoja "consisted of two very small bedrooms, one bathroom, shower only. The living room extended into a tiny kitchen. We had an ice box and an oil-burning space heater"... "happily I never had to get used to a wood stove"..."The cottage had only one oil heater...We lived in fear of it blowing up one day...to our horror it happened one evening while we were at the movies." "... troops were surrounded and cut off by the Communist Chinese"... mail stopped. "It was a terrible, traumatic time for both of us."... "Well, 1needn't tell you that the war situation is really grim."..."Of course, I too am very worried and scared stiff ... 'Don't worry about me. I'll be okay."..."My heart pounds for minutes each time the doorbell rings."... "1 did receive the dreaded telegram January 30 when Bob was wounded again"... "When the telegram came our five year old daughter was crying with me... she said, "Momma, what is wounded? She didn't know why we were crying."... Out of his battalion of 900 men only 300 came thru" ... "Wallace Jordan Reid was killed in action August 8, 1950."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary North and South Korea are nations of radical contrasts: one a bellicose totalitarian state with a failing economy; the other a peaceful democracy with a strong economy. Yet their people share a common history that extends back more than 3,000 years. In this comprehensive new history of Korea from the prehistoric era to the present day, Jinwung Kim recounts the rich and fascinating story of the political, social, cultural, economic, and diplomatic developments in Korea's long march to the present. He provides a detailed account of the origins of the Korean people and language and the founding of the first walled-town states, along with the advanced civilization that existed in the ancient land of "Unified Silla." Clarifying the often complex history of the Three Kingdoms Period, Kim chronicles the five-century long history of the Choson dynasty, which left a deep impression on Korean culture. From the beginning, China has loomed large in the history of Korea, from the earliest times when the tribes that would eventually make up the Korean nation roamed the vast plains of Manchuria and against whom Korea would soon define itself. Japan, too, has played an important role in Korean history, particularly in the 20th century; Kim tells this story as well, including the conflicts that led to the current divided state. The first detailed overview of Korean history in nearly a quarter century, this volume will enlighten a new generation of students eager to understand this contested region of Asia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ancient History of Korea. Second Edition is a thesis that Dr. Lee presents to the worldly scholars in every sectors. Though Chinese history has that the legendary Gija () went to Joseon at the end of Shang dynasty(; c. 1046 BC) and came back to the west Zhou within few years, no one has yet confirmed the birth place of Joseon. Korean had used the standard method of studying history, but couldn’t find it. He convinced that Chinese concealed the facts and spread out false information. Korean used a wrong method to find facts concealed by the criminals. He applied a new methodology with a series of syllogism and found out the root. The founding father of the Ancient Korea conducted the epic flood. The mobster killed him and declared the Xia dynasty in the birth place of the Yellow River Civilization. They buried Old Korean History. He presents a new method to study history written under ideographs and defined that History as THE MOTHER OF ALL SCIENCES AND LIBERAL ARTS. He went one step further and emphasizes that not the written records alone, but the Reasoning is the essential element in the forensic science and to study the NEA history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive and balanced history of modern Korea explores the social, economic, and political issues it has faced since being catapulted into the wider world at the end of the nineteenth century. Placing this formerly insular society in a global context, Michael J. Seth describes how this ancient, culturally and ethnically homogeneous society first fell victim to Japanese imperialist expansionism, and then was arbitrarily divided in half after World War II. Seth traces the postwar paths of the two Koreas with different political and social systems and different geopolitical orientations as they evolved into sharply contrasting societies. South Korea, after an unpromising start, became one of the few postcolonial developing states to enter the ranks of the first world, with a globally competitive economy, a democratic political system, and a cosmopolitan and dynamic culture. By contrast, North Korea became one of the world's most totalitarian and isolated societies, a nuclear power with an impoverished and famine-stricken population. Considering the radically different and historically unprecedented trajectories of the two Koreas, Seth assesses the insights they offer for understanding not only modern Korea but the broader perspective of world history."

Book excerpt: Despite American success in preventing the conquest of South Korea by communist North Korea, the Korean War of 1950-1953 did not satisfy Americans who expected the Kind of total victory they had experienced in World War II. In that earlier, larger war, victory over Japan came after two atomic bombs destroyed the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. However, in Korea five years later, the United States limited itself to conventional weapons. Even after Communist China entered the war, Americans put China off-limits to conventional bombing as well as nuclear bombing. Operating within these limits, the U.S. Air force helped to repel two invasions of South Korea while securing control of the skies so decisively that other United Nations forces could fight without fear of air attack. This book tells the story of those limits from Invasion to Air Pressure as part of the Air Force's Fiftieth Anniversary Commemorative Edition.
