In contrast to the many books that use military, diplomatic, and
historic language in analyzing the Korean War, this book takes a
cultural approach that emphasizes the human dimension of the war,
an approach that especially features Korean voices. There are
chapters on Korean art on the war, translations into English of
Korean poetry by Korean soldiers, and American soldier poetry on
the war. There is a photographic essay on the war by combat
journalist and Pulitzer Prize winning photographer Max Desfor.
Another chapter includes and analyzes songs on the Korean War -
Korean, American, and Chinese - that illuminate the many complex
memories of the war. There is a discussion of Korean films on the
war and a chapter on Korean War POWs and their contested memories.
More than any other nonfiction book on the war, this one shows us
the human face of tragedy for Americans, Chinese, and most
especially Koreans. June 2000 was the fiftieth anniversary of the
outbreak of the Korean War; this moving volume is intended as a
commemoration of it.
