Does anyone have Scholarly sources on the tragedies committed on the Korean people by the US. My professor appears to be a Maoist (sympathetic to socialism and AES, specifically China since the second half of the course is all about Mao and his successes and then Deng's successes) so when meeting with him he suggested I explain the suffering caused in the Korean war and why that trauma still haunts them today and how the US could come back and do it again at any time if they don't have nuclear defense.
I am also going to explain the Japanese war crimes and how the US forced South Korea to work with Japan and why the DPRK attempted to liberate their brothers and sisters.
Just to recap, I am doing my own research into this, but if any of you comrades could point me in the right direction, that would be great. Thanks
Someone posted an article here a month or two ago by Anna Louise Strong, the first journalist to visit northern Korea after the resolution of WWII. Very eye opening. You can see from her first hand experiences how the Korean people, particularly in the north, were allowed by the USSR to politically determine themselves, and the u.s. in the South continued the oppression of Japanese imperialism there.
Have you checked I.F. Stone's Hidden History of the Korean War? I've only read bits and pieces but I know it's one of the go tos on the Korean war
