Description
Patriots, Traitors and Empires: The Story of Korea's Struggle for Freedom is a comprehensive account of modern Korean history, told from the perspective of those who fought to free their country from foreign domination.
The book explores Korea's struggle for independence, from the early 20th century when Japan incorporated Korea into its empire, to the present day, where North Korea continues to seek deterrence against potential invasion by the United States or other nations.
Through the stories of both patriots and traitors, this book provides a nuanced understanding of Korea's complex history, offering a much-needed alternative to the simplistic narratives that often surround the country's story.
