Korea's Fight For Freedom (1920)

By Frederick Arthur McKenzie and Frederick Arthur MacKenzie

Book Overview

Korea's Fight For Freedom, written by F. A. McKenzie and published in 1920, is a historical account of Korea's struggle for independence from foreign powers. The book covers the period from the late 19th century, when Korea was forced to open its doors to foreign influence, to the early 20th century, when Korea finally gained its independence from Japan. McKenzie provides a detailed analysis of the political, economic, and social factors that led to Korea's subjugation by foreign powers, including China, Japan, and Russia. He also describes the various uprisings and protests that took place in Korea during this period, as well as the role of key figures such as Kim Ok-gyun and Syngman Rhee in the fight for independence. The book also explores the impact of foreign intervention on Korean society, including the forced adoption of Western culture and the suppression of traditional Korean values and practices. McKenzie argues that Korea's fight for freedom was not only a struggle against foreign powers, but also a struggle to preserve its unique cultural identity. Overall, Korea's Fight For Freedom is a comprehensive and insightful account of Korea's struggle for independence, providing readers with a detailed understanding of the historical, political, and cultural forces that shaped this pivotal period in Korean history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
