1. Brothers At War
The Unending Conflict in Korea
A sweeping, deeply researched history that traces the origins and consequences of Korea’s division from late-19th-century imperial encroachment through Japanese colonization, Cold War rivalry, and the 1950–53 conflict, arguing that the Korean War never truly ended. Drawing on diplomatic records, personal testimony, and political analysis, it shows how foreign powers and competing nationalisms created and perpetuated a peninsula divided by an armistice rather than a peace treaty, describes the enduring human costs—families torn apart, refugee experiences, and cycles of confrontation—and probes the political and social obstacles to reconciliation and reunification amid entrenched geopolitical interests.
