This is a true story of a Japanese-born Korean man who struggled for survival during the Korean War. It is also an inspiring book about human yearning for survival in the most miserable circumstances. Born in Japan; Hun Pong returned to his fatherland Korea after it became independent from Japan and worked for the Korean Civilian Army. Once the war broke out; he was captured by; and forced to work for; the North Korean force; during which he witnessed a lot of cruelties and atrocities. In the midst of the war; he gave himself in to the South Korean force and later worked for the Combat Police of South Korea. After the war; he began to look for his family who had parted separately and lived a miserable life. Meanwhile; he met his wife; raised his children and started to run a printing business to support his family. Since running a business in Korea at that time was also warlike; he had to move several times till he finally settled down in a village.

I think some of the formatting and spelling could have been cleaned up better. But it didn't detract too much from the book; just a minor annoyance here or there.The book itself was very good. I was never to familiar with the history of the SAADF or the whole struggle that South Africa embarked on in general. Dick Lord does an ok job of giving you the background; but telling you more than just the story of the raids themselves. He gives you excellent background into the air force and the operations themselves.If you have an interest in modern aerial operations or about South Africa's struggle vs communism this is an excellent book1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.

Interesting history.By DJ HATTINGHVery interesting history of the South African Airforce during the broder war period. The storytelling style is easy to get into; though sometimes gets in to too much technical details.Kindle edition is riddled with typo's and silly grammatical errors.
