[KS] book search for teaching

[Andrew P Killick]

Another novel of the Korean War is Lee Ho-chul's "Southerners,
Northerners", translated by my wife and myself and published by EastBridge.
It gives a different perspective in being based on the author's experience
of being drafted into the North Korean army at the age of 19.
