War in the Land of the Morning Calm by Jim Campbell Pdf

"WAR IN THE LAND OF THE MORNING CALM contains first-person accounts of men and women who served in the Korean War. There is no plot. There are no explanations of grand strategies or political policies or any of the other bewildering activities behind the scenes of a nation at war. I simply hope that these vignettes, and brief accounts will convey the feelings and experiences of those of us who served." -- from Amazon.com

A History of Korea by Jinwung Kim Pdf

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.

A Yankee in the Land of the Morning Calm: The Northern Frontier by Donald G. Southerton Pdf

In the closing years of the nineteenth century, East Asia saw traditional institutions erode under the weight of modernization, westernization, and imperialism. Unlike Japan, which by the late 1860s boldly embraced western thought and technology, Korea's orthodox Neo-Confucian elites resisted change. Trade agreements signed in the 1880s led to some reforms and the "opening" of Korea to the West. Soon China, Japan, Russia, France, Germany, and Great Britain vied for economic opportunity. Significantly, American missionaries and traders formed a core cadre among the foreigners who ventured to what the West called the Hermit Kingdom. Meanwhile, open conflict erupted on the peninsula between rival Japanese and Chinese forces. The outcome was substantial socio-economic transformation. By 1895, the Korean monarch King Kojong looked to align with the West to thwart ever-growing Japanese imperialism. King Kojong pursued a strategy of granting trade concessions to westerners in hopes that the investors would pressure their governments to support the monarchy and contain Japanese imperialism.The most successful of these concessions were granted to several Americans. By the early 1900s, the American-run Northern Frontier mines were among the richest in Asia. It is here, in what is today North Korea, that Connecticut-born Josh Gillet ventures and Book Three of A Yankee in the Land of the Morning Calm saga continues....

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.
