[KS] Re: Imjin Query

[Walter K. Lew]

Only partial, not extensive "detailed accounts"), but they are in English
and highly readable:

Kichung Kim, "Resistance, Abduction, and Survival: The Documentary
Literature of the Imjin War (1592-1598), _Korean Culture_ 20.3 (Fall 1999):
20-29.  _KC_ is published by the Korean Cultural Center, 5505 Wilshire
Blvd., L.A., CA 90036 and edited by fellow list member, Prof. Robert E.
Buswell, Jr.

Yi Sun-sin, _Imjin Changch'o: Admiral Yi Sun-sin's Memorials to the Court_,
ed. Lee Chong-young [sic], trans. Ha Tae-hung [sic] (Seoul: Yonsei
University Press, 1981).  Available I'm sure at the Yonsei U. campus
bookstore.
