Ebook: The Great East Asian War and the Birth of the Korean Nation

JaHyun Kim Haboush offers a compelling counternarrative to Western historiography, which ties Korea's idea of nation to the imported ideologies of modern colonialism. This book instead elevates the formative role of the conflicts that defined the second half of the Chosôn Dynasty. Re-creating the cultural and political passions that bound Chosôn society together, Haboush reclaims the root story of solidarity that helped Korea thrive well into the modern era.
