Title: Learned nothing about Korea from this book.
Review: Unfortunately I bought this book because of its promising title.But it was basically just a lure. Maybe to trap buyers whohave a real curiosity about Korea the "Land of Miracles".After all the back story of Korea is truly interesting. Weall know about and have at least a curiosity about theKorean economy, the academics, the general orderliness,about Korea. But this is a bait and catch book. Thereis no understanding of Korea culture, the people, orthe history. Winchester just wants to satisfy his ownego and show what a "cool" guy he is. There are the usual East/Westposturing stands that are very tired, very obviousintentionally or unintentionally in the book. A better,writer of greater integrity is needed to explore these issues.Search "Korea" and read about in Wikipedia. You'll learn moreand its free.
