Homeschoolmom3 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Anyone know of any good historical fiction books on the Korean War for early high school student? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anne1456 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 My 17 year old read Hope in Hungnam last year, which is set in the Korean War. It is a war book without too much focus on battles, which is what she wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homeschoolmom3 Posted January 11, 2014 Author Share Posted January 11, 2014 Not familiar with it, does it have any sexual content in nature? Graphic violence is not so much of my concern as the other. Thanks for posting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anne1456 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 There is some romance, my daughter said sex might have been implied, but she wasn't sure. So I guess it wasn't obvious if it was there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebastian (a lady) Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 The Bridges at Toko Ri by James Michener is sent in the war. I've only seen the movie so I can't speak to the content. It is much shorter than his later epic histories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCB Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Not really about the Korean war ( although it is covered from a Korean viewpoint), but I really enjoyed "The Living Reed" by Pearl Buck. I felt like I learned a lot about Korean history and culture, but I didn't know much at all about it before I read it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
