Paperback. Condition: Fair. First Edition. 111 pages. Black and white photographic plates. Undated but likely 1953. "Cuts through the propaganda to show for the first time the sequence of events on Koje Island and in the other American prisoner camps. Only by viewing the events as they occurred, and as they were related to American policy at the truce talks in Panmunmom, is it possible to understand the periodic large-scale massacres, some of which found their way into the headlines. The authors were fortunate in being in Korea during all these events, not only at the truce talks and the front but also in the rear where they had scores of interviews with prisoners who escaped from Koje Island; Kuomintang and Rhee agents who worked on Koje and were later parachuted into North Korea and taken prisoner, and with captured United Nations soldiers who had themselves served as guards on Koje and had actually taken part in the massacres. The picture is clear and conclusive. The Koje events were a necessary part of overall American strategy. The macabre skeleton of Koje known to the public from attenuated press reports, needs flesh and clothes in order to be recognised as the monstrosity that it truly is." - Author's Note. Unmarked with somewhat above-average wear. McFarland [1843] describes the authors as "newspapermen, one from England and one from Australia, who openly collaborated with the Chinese Communists during the war." Binding intact. A sound vintage copy. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
