“...these essays make a strong case that personalism shaped postwar South Korea as well as North Korea. Professor Oh's volume should encourage others to return to the primary sources in our search for the real Korea after World War II.”–
Product Description
This collection, edited by Distinguished Professor of Korean Studies Bonnie B.C. Oh, helps to fill a considerable gap in the English-language literature on Korea and the United States. Although much has been written about Korea in the Japanese colonial and World War II period and, of course, even more has been made available on the Korean War years, little has been written on the interim period when the United States attempted to rule Korea through a trusteeship.
