Ebook: Materials on Korean communism, 1945-1947

The materials in this volume constitute a part of what I [Chong-sik Lee] collected and translated in preparing my work, with Professor Robert A. Scalapino, Communism in Korea (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1973). We analyzed the events of those years in chapters four and five of that work but, for obvious reasons, could not treat all the events and issues of that important period in Korean history. In many cases. we had to be content with bare outlines rather than going into detail. For this reason, I thought these materials would be useful to other scholars who may wish to study the same events or issues from different perspectives but who may be constricted by lack of source materials.
