About This Book

An eyewitness account and analysis of Japanese rule in Korea that traces causes and consequences of a mass, nonviolent uprising in spring 1919. It documents policies of forced assimilation, curtailed liberties, widespread arrests and imprisonment, and systematic police brutality, including detailed descriptions of torture methods. The narrative links the growth of Korean national sentiment to missionary-led education and Christian teachings, reports on firsthand investigations in the interior, and argues that popular resistance persisted and intensified despite official attempts to pacify and control the population.
