Book excerpt: This book fills a long-recognized need for a comparative study of the anti-colonial movements in two countries not commonly combined within the same historical context. Different though Korea and Vietnam are in several ways, they both shared pasts that were similarly formative in molding the lives, careers, and thought of the two protagonists examined here. The book reveals how they not only dealt with the realities of their time, but also how, through history, philosophy, experience, emotion, and imagination, they came to deal with their countries’ condition, and to envision the future and an alternative world order that have pertinence today.
