Download or read book A Korean War Captive in Japan 1597 1600 written by JaHyun Kim Haboush and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2013-11-12 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kang Hang was a Korean scholar-official taken prisoner in 1597 by an invading Japanese army during the Imjin War of 1592–1598. While in captivity in Japan, Kang recorded his thoughts on human civilization, war, and the enemy's culture and society, acting in effect as a spy for his king. Arranged and printed in the seventeenth century as Kanyangnok, or The Record of a Shepherd, Kang's writings were extremely valuable to his government, offering new perspective on a society few Koreans had encountered in 150 years and new information on Japanese politics, culture, and military organization. In this complete, annotated translation of Kanyangnok, Kang ruminates on human behavior and the nature of loyalty during a time of war. A neo-Confucianist with a deep knowledge of Chinese philosophy and history, Kang drew a distinct line between the Confucian values of his world, which distinguished self, family, king, and country, and a foreign culture that practiced invasion and capture, and, in his view, was largely incapable of civilization. Relating the experiences of a former official who played an exceptional role in wartime and the rare voice of a Korean speaking plainly and insightfully on war and captivity, this volume enables a deeper appreciation of the phenomenon of war at home and abroad.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: POINT LOOKOUT, Maryland, was the largest prisoner of war holding pen for Confederates. Its position on the tip of a peninsula formed by the Potomac River and Chesapeake Bay, seemed perfect, ─ for a prison camp. The first prisoners were taken in July of 1863 and were held in tents. Eventually as many as 20,000 prisoners would endure the boiling heat of summer and the freezing cold of winter. The crowded, inadequate quarters, bad food, rampant disease, and inhumane treatment would lead to the deaths of 3,584 Confederate prisoners.Anthony M. Keiley was a young Virginia soldier who found himself in this situation after having been captured in the fighting to defend Petersburg. Keiley was sent to Point Lookout, where the reflection of the sun upon the sand caused inflammation of his eyes, as well as enduring unthinkable hardships. Elmira Prison in New York was his next destination. He spent five months at Point Lookout and Elmira before he was exchanged through the lines. He also served a brief time in jail after the war, when, working as a newspaper editor, he criticized the Radical Reconstruction government.Anthony Michael Keiley had paid the price of being in vinculis ─ in chains for defending the Southland, ─during the war, by arms and after the war, by pen.To follow are chronicles of his experiences in prison, told with a sparkle of his inimitable Irish wit.

This book was released on 2020-03-08 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the Annotated Version of the Original Book. We had tried to annotate this book by adding a 55% to 65% Summary at the end of this book in red fonts. Mary (White) Rowlandson was a colonial American woman who was captured during an attack by Native Americans during King Philip's War and held ransom for 11 weeks and 5 days. After being released, she wrote A Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson, also known as The Sovereignty and Goodness of God. It is a work in the literary genre of captivity narratives. It is considered to be one of America's first bestsellers, four editions appearing in 1682 when it was first published. They took many of the survivors captive, including Mary Rowlandson and her three children. Mary and her youngest child were among the injured, while others of her family, including her brother-in-law, were killed. Being injured, the journey was difficult for Rowlandson and her daughter. They reached an Indian settlement called Wenimesset, where Rowlandson met another captive named Robert Pepper who tried to help the new captives. They buried Rowlandson's dead daughter, and she was allowed to visit her oldest daughter, Mary, who was also being held in Wenimesset. After attacking another town, the Native Americans decided to head north, and Rowlandson was again separated from her family and her new friends. They came to the Baquaug River and crossed it with the English soldiers close behind. However, the English were not able to cross, and Rowlandson and the Indians continued northwest. Rowlandson and the Native Americans soon crossed the river and met King Philip. Rowlandson wanted to go to Albany in hopes of being sold for gunpowder, but the Indians took her northward and crossed the river again. Rowlandson started hoping that she might be returned home, but the Indians turned south, continuing along the Connecticut River instead of heading east towards civilization. Rowlandson and her group finally started to move east. They crossed the Baquaug River again where they met messengers telling Rowlandson she had to go to Wachusett where the Indians would discuss the possibility of her returning to freedom. She was disheartened by the sight of a colonist injured in a previous Indian attack. She reached Wachusett and spoke to King Philip, who guaranteed her freedom in two weeks. The council asked how much her husband would pay for her ransom and they sent a letter to Boston offering her freedom for twenty pounds. The Indians could also be kind to her and treat her well, and the next day they will starve her with none clarification. Throughout the entire expertise, Rowlandson keeps her religion and returns everything that happens into a blessing or a doing of God. Mary Rowlandson wrote her story with the intention of getting other's browse it, as well as those around her. Given this her narrative is often understood in terms of however she would need to represent herself and her captivity to those readers, so not whole understood as a very correct account. Rowlandson was a revered girl inside Puritan society and in and of itself would be expected to represent all that was customary of fine Christian girls.

Download or read book Prisoner of the Rising Sun written by John M. Beebe and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2006-02-15 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A never-before-published account of the experience of an American officer at the hands of Japanese captors, Prisoner of the Rising Sun offers new evidence of the treatment accorded officers and shows how the Corregidor prisoners fared compared with the ill-fated Bataan captives. When Japanese aircraft struck airfields in the Philippines on December 8, 1941, Col. Lewis C. Beebe was Gen. Douglas MacArthur’s chief supply officer. Promoted to brigadier general, he would become chief of staff for General Wainwright in early March, 1942. From his privileged vantage point, Beebe kept diary records of the Japanese invasion of the Philippines, their advance to Manila and capture of the Bataan Peninsula, and their assault on Corregidor. On May 6, Japanese troops assaulted Corregidor and secured the island in less than twelve hours. Beebe was among those captured and held prisoner until the end of the war in the Pacific, more than four years later. During his captivity, Beebe managed to keep a diary in which he recorded the relatively benign treatment he and his fellow officers received (at least in comparison with the horrific conditions described in the better-known accounts of less high-ranking POWs held by the Japanese elsewhere). He reports on poor rations, less than adequate medical care, and field work in camps in the Philippines, on Taiwan, and in Manchuria. He also describes the sometimes greedy and selfish behavior of his fellow captives, as well as a lighter side of camp life that included work on a novel, singing, POW concerts, and Red Cross visits. His philosophy demanded that captivity should be borne with optimism and self-respect. Annotation and an epilogue by General Beebe’s son, Rev. John M. Beebe, add details about his military career, and an informative introduction by historian Stanley L. Falk places the diary in the context of the broader American experience of captivity at the hands of the Japanese. The diary itself not only provides new details of the treatment of officers by the Japanese army, but also offers a glimpse into the psyche of one of the members of the Greatest Generation who transformed his captivity by using it to sort out what was most important in life.
