Voices from the Korean War: Personal Stories of American, Korean and Chinese Soldiers Tapa dura - 2004

de Richard Peters; Xiaobing Li


Información de la editorial

"In three days the number of so-called 'volunteers' reached over three hundred men. Very quickly they organized us into military units. Just like that I became a North Korean soldier and was on the way to some unknown place." -- from the book

South Korean Lee Young Ho was seventeen years old when he was forced to serve in the North Korean People's Army during the first year of the Korean War. After a few months, he deserted the NKPA and returned to Seoul where he joined the South Korean Marine Corps. Ho's experience is only one of the many compelling accounts found in Voices from the Korean War.

Unique in gathering war stories from veterans from all sides of the Korean War -- American, South Korean, North Korean, and Chinese -- this volume creates a vivid and multidimensional portrait of the three-year-long conflict told by those who experienced the ground war firsthand. Richard Peters and Xiaobing Li include a significant introduction that provides a concise history of the Korean conflict, as well as a geographical and a political backdrop for the soldiers' personal stories.

Primera línea

IT IS ONE of the more unfortunate and ironic events in history that Korea, a nation that prior to 1945 included the most homogeneous and united of all peoples, should become a nation divided.

Descripción:
Lexington, KY: The University Press of Kentucky, 2004 The University Press of Kentucky, Lexington, KY. 2004. Hardcover. First Printing by Line Number. Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: Fine. DJ: FineBlack boards and spine with bright gilt lettering on the spine. 291 pp 8vo. The Korean War remains the forgotten war and also forgotten are the personal stories of tragedy, heroism, and survival from both sides of the front lines until now. This book is a major contribution toward recording and making public first-person accounts of the Korean War told by officers, enlisted, and, civilians. These stories highlight the soldier's experience, and the differences between them; American soldiers just wanted to get home; the Korean and Chinese soldiers had personal reasons in regaining their land and fighting with loyalty and pride. A vivid multidimensional portrait of the three-year long conflict. A clean very presentable copy.
