DOWNLOAD EBOOKKorea, June 1950. The "Land of the Morning Calm," freed at last from three and a half decades of Japanese colonial oppression, enjoys the fruits of peace and independence. In the southern countryside a small village celebrates its patriarch's sixtieth birthday, marking, according to tradition, his passage into old age. In the ancient capital of Seoul an American military advisor pursues his secret, reluctant Korean lover. And just to the north, just above a strange, arbitrary line called the 38th Parallel, a great army, well trained and equipped with Russian-made tanks, prepares in stealth for what its Communist commanders hope will be a brief and glorious war of liberation. "Like a shrimp caught between whales:" so Koreans describe the horrific events that followed. For, seeing their own national interests threatened, the great powers-the United States, Soviet Union, and China-transformed Korea into their bloody and tragic battleground. On this fiftieth anniversary of the Korean War, Land of the Morning Storm, presents the epic story of women and men, great and ordinary, powerful and powerless, Korean and American, caught up in this frothing, brutal maelstrom.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAlthough a cease-fire agreement was signed on July 27, 1953, Korea has never been a place of peace. Missions to the Korean demilitarized zone continue, even in the year 1985. The DMZ was created as a strip of land between North and South Korea to act as a buffer, but even the best intentions can sometimes fail. Word quickly spreads: North Koreans are moving toward the DMZ in an all-out combative push. From the south, the Republic of Korea Army-along with American forces-plan to meet them. All involved must tread carefully or threaten the outbreak of a second Korean War. The men and women of Second Division know this, and they have seventy-two hours to ensure peace.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"25 Albertype plates from photographs of Korea by Percival Lowell. Forbes Albertype Co., Boston, did the plates. This copy also contains two handwritten notes by Lowell laid in. One is of autobiograhical interest as Lowell gives a short resume in his career to this date. The pictures by him, as reproduced by the Forbes company, are striking and the tonal range of the collotypes is particularly effective in this book." -- Hanson collection catalog, p. 88.
