The book is deeply sad and even disturbing to read for sensitive readers but is mandatory if one wishes to understand Koreans’ sorrow, pain and history, and the political relationship between the North and South today.

Imjingak, located in Paju near the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), is a deeply meaningful place that tells the story of Korea’s modern history.

Nestled in southern Seoul’s quiet Dongjak District, the National Cemetery of Korea is more than a resting place, it's a living monument to the country's modern history and the people who shaped it.
