[KS] U.S. involvement in the Gwangju Uprising

[Balazs Szalontai]

Let me add one more book to the list:
 
James V. Young, Eyeon Korea: An Insider Account of Korean-American Relations. The author was a U.S. defense attache in Seoul at that time, and due to his position, he seems to have a somewhat better insight into the mindset of Chun Doo Hwan and his co-generals than Ambassador Gleysteen.
 
Best regards,
Balazs

I imagine anyone conscientously interested in getting the full picture would want to look at the books by Ambassador Gleysteen:  

Massive Entanglement, Marginal Influence: Carter and Korea in Crisis and 
General Wickham:  Korea on the Brink: A Memoir of Political Intrigue and Military Crisis
