Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book South Korea: Our Story is a book about my personal discovery of the Republic of Korea (South Korea) and its ancient cultural and historical heritage. It is about a land that is both old and new as South Korea and the Korean people reinvent their nation for the twenty-first century. It is a love story where I meet my future wife, Ryoo Hwa Soon. She was one of my students, and because of her, I became more intertwined with the heart and soul of a country. But this story is more than just a tale of self-discovery and finding love. It is about a nation that is in the grip of a power struggle between the forces of freedom and democracy and the forces of Communism. These forces overshadow what is happening not only in South Korea but in Korean communities within the United States itself. This fight is as old as the formation of North and South Korea and still remains the power struggle for the soul of a nation and its people.
