Description
In a mountain village in Korea, 1950, the memory of the Japanese occupation has just begun to fade. Then, the farmers hear that the army led by the great General "Megado"-MacArthur-has landed at Inchon. As soldiers descend upon their home, a special encampment is soon set up nearby, nicknamed Texas Town. There, local women meet with the invaders-including one little boy's mother. And the fate that befalls her will change both of them forever.

Description
Han Kiju is an executive in Seoul, a modern Korean intellectual who works in book publishing. But he has never fully come to grips with his memories of war-first the conflict that gripped his own country, and then his time in Vietnam.
When an old comrade-in-arms, a coward who crumpled in battle, begins to follow him, Kiju must finally deal with the ghosts of the past haunting his present, in this brutal, evocative tale of combat.
