Book Reviews of The Korean War: The Story and Photographs (America Goes to War)
Book Review: Some History Please
Summary: 2 Stars
I have to admit I have not read the book. I only browsed through the few pages available, but that was enough to show me that there must be other glaring errors on the other pages as well. First photo of one of the Yi Dynasty Palace structures is labeled as a pagoda! Wow! Nothing Buddhist at all in that very Confucian piece of architecture. Next, we ostensibly have a "Shinto Shrine where students studied"!!! Shinto is Japanese and had nothing to do with Yi Dynasty Korea, where this structure comes from. Simple errors like this show me that this book may be fine for the neophyte, but lacks any sense of depth in Korean culture. Egads!
