Ghost Flames is a history book about the Korean War by the Pulitzer Prize-winning writer, who helped uncover some of its darkest and longest-kept secrets.
The war that broke out in Korea on Sunday morning 70 years ago is considered a pivotal turning point in modern history – the first major armed clash of the Cold War. The ultimate conflict between the superpowers, and the root of a nuclear crisis that engulfs the world to this day.
Charles J. Hanley tells the story of the Korean War through the eyes of 20 individuals who have lived through it – from a North Korean refugee girl to an American nun, a Chinese general to a prisoner of war. Black American painting, a British journalist for a US Marine hero.
