Review # 1 was written on 2015-06-13 00:00:00 Julyan Hayward On May 31 the primary schools of Kwangju reopened. My superiors sent me to cover the event. "What do you want to tell your teacher?" I asked a second-grader."I want to tell them that the soldier-uncles killed people," the boy responded. There's much about the Gwangju Uprising I never knew about. A city completed isolated from the rest of the country by the army and martial law. Media censorship that painted the citizens as rioting hooligans and downplayed the scale of the massacre to the rest of the country for years. The US's implicit involvement in approving the army's actions. This book is a harrowing collection of accounts from reporters who were in the midst of the demonstrations. The stark difference between the foreign reporters and Korean ones shows how completely the government silenced what happened.

Review # 2 was written on 2008-09-21 00:00:00 Brad Adtea I lived in Korea when this happened. This was Korea's Tianenmen, a great event in world history, and hardly anyone knows about it because it happened right after the Mt. St. Helens eruption. How does a human volcano compete with a real one? You won't feel good about America. But should you?
