Description:
When most Americans consider the post-war politics of the Korean peninsula, they think of North Korea as an example of the worst form of tyranny, contrasted with the shining example of South Korean democracy.
But it was not always so, as this landmark book "More Than Witnesses," chronicles in its anthologized tales of courage and integrity in the face of oppressive South Korean regimes who maintained power through violence, deception, and an egregious disregard for basic civil liberties.
