DIE

No not really

I mean Tbf this man already thinks Russia invading Ukraine is good and that China is not a police state so lol

Damn Ezra…. That man spent 20 yrs to write part 1 of a trilogy only to die of old age. But introduction would be something Korea: A History by Eugene Park or for a far more general of but narrative tale the Two Koreas.

Not exactly it’s also by the same author lol

It’s a boring read but like it’s too serve as a reference point so when jn her other books mention things you can be like “oh I know who that is!”

Lot of anti Mongolian empire stuff people paint as a cutting edge revisionist answer to the wholesome chungus multicultural empire isnt fucking new it’s the basic bitch academic consensus, since the late 90s. READ BOOKS

It’s on the shorter side of her works but it’s overall really good

Personally I think you also have to understand a man like Billy Graham as well to truly get what the zeitgeist of the post 87, famine, recession and Korea finally becoming a high income nation was about.

Namhee Lee’s being a solid hater but in a understanding lib way is always a treat

ITS A GREAT BOOK
