Beskrivelse
Modern Korean history is an important subject for future generations of Korean immigrants to learn their background and heritage. The new generation will learn important lessons for their survival and successful life from their parents' experience and struggles for independence and democracy. The search for simple English storytelling on the subject found no easy answer. The Author, having lived in both Korea and the U.S., presents an objective and panoramic view of history through the life of Syngman Rhee (1875-1965), the revolutionary, the reformer and the first president of the Republic of Korea. The Author describes international politics in the colonial period and a young man destined to be an enlightened and courageous spiritual and political leader to bridge the old Korean dynasty engulfed in colonization and a war to a vibrant new Republic. The Republic became a bulwark of democracy in the Far East swept by communism. This book is essential reading for the new generation interested in the dazzling progress of the new republic, a fratricidal war to thwart communism, and the people's will for democracy and freedom. The book provides an ample resource of education in Korean history, language arts for the first generation, and the inspiration of a charismatic leader. Whether speaking English or not, a reader can start a journey in both history and language arts with New Dawn to enrich their lives.
