About
In so many ways the Korean story is also an American story. The US has sacrificed tens of thousands of America lives in east Asia, from WW2 through the Korean war. For over a hundred and fifty years America has tried - and is still trying - to influence events in Korea. Much of the how and why we got to the brink of nuclear war with a tiny nation in east Asia has not just taken place in the blue and white light of our TV and computer screens.
