From the Paper:
"This book written by Ki-Baik Lee and translated by Edward Wagner is the first English language book that talks about the history of Korea in many years. This translated version provides the Western world and other English speaking nations a view of Korea and its history, culture and people from the earliest times up to the 1960 student revolution. This book was first published in 1961 and was revised and updated two times. Moreover, it has been also translated in Japanese and Chinese. Professor Lee's book provides a new glimpse of Korean history basing it on a new analysis of the changing times that has affected every single aspect of his country."
