Land of the Morning Calm by Harry Bryce Pdf

It's 1968, and Herb Royce, a lieutenant in the U.S. Army Military Police, has been married for less than two weeks when he receives his orders to ship out. To his surprise, he's not heading off to fight in the jungles of Vietnam; he is being sent to Korea instead. Not willing to be left behind, his wife, Joyce, a headstrong Canadian nurse, follows him and gets a job in a Korean hospital next to Herb's camp. But little do the two realize just what they've got themselves into. North Korea's dictator is desperate to start a second Korean War in parallel with the Vietnam conflict. The snatching of a U.S. Navy ship, the "USS Pueblo," is just the beginning of a murderous yearlong struggle. Unfortunately, Herb has more than a maniacal dictator to deal with. His unstable, alcoholic colonel commands a tactical nuclear rocket outfit and clearly hates Herb's guts. It's soon evident that the colonel wouldn't mind sending Herb back to the United States in a body bag. In as increasingly hostile environment, Joyce and Herb find their relationship tested in a strange and deadly world filled with spies, black marketeers, thieves, prostitutes and murderous North Korean army commandos. But when Herb rescues an abandoned Korean infant, the couple embarks on a truly extraordinary journey, one that will define them in ways they never thought possible.

Korea, 1895: court intrigue and foreign powers threaten the centuries-old “hermit kingdom”. In a prominent manor, Ji-nah, the sheltered fourteen-year-old ward, and Han, the seventeen-year-old servant, are left in the tight grip of Tutor Lim when Master Yi travels to Peking. The tutor strips Ji-nah’s privileged life and crushes Han’s future. When the two young people uncover the tutor’s broader conspiracy with the Japanese to overthrow Queen Min, they determine to save the queen, whose fate seems tied to their master. Their plans go awry when the tutor sells them off as slaves: Ji-nah to the palace and Han to the missionaries. When Ji-nah learns her real identity as the master’s daughter and the queen’s kinsman, she stakes her life at the palace. Meanwhile, Han adapts to Westerners, learning strange customs that clash with his traditional world views. Ultimately, Han faces the tutor, Ji-nah, the queen, and the two reunite with their master, but Queen Min is assassinated. Despite the fallen kingdom, the two young people find hope in their new roles, determined to rebuild their lives and nation.

The broken land, the morning calm by Hyeong-geol John Kim Pdf

Over the last half-century, the Korean Peninsula has become a region that has stolen attention from all over the world. The world villagers have started to recognize Korea is not just a nation in the corner, but a ring of fire that could threaten their peace and safety directly or indirectly. So the concern about the conflict between the North and the South, from the Japanese rule to the Korean War to the Kim family era ━ Kim Il-sung, Kim Jung-il, and Kim Jong-un ━ to the abruptly bulged-out nuclear problem has grown bigger and bigger. So if anyone who wants to sympathize and look deeper into peace and danger beyond Asia to the globe needs to know about the heated Korean Peninsula first. And the readers of this book can learn the messages of Yin and Yang and Tragedy and Hope that are hard to find in other books.
