📘 Korea's Place in the Sun by Bruce Cumings

Bruce Cumings delivers a detailed narrative of Korea’s tumultuous twentieth‑century trajectory. After Japan annexed Korea in 1910, the region endured colonial exploitation until 1945. The subsequent division of the peninsula, the Korean War, and the mass suffering of millions left Korea deeply impoverished and split into North and South Korea. Cumings chronicles the nation's arduous recovery and remarkable economic growth, positioning Korea as one of the century’s most impressive success stories.
