Pulitzer Prize winner Charles J. Hanley told the story of the Korean War, one of the most barbaric conflicts in history, in Ghost Flames: Life and Death in a Hidden War, Korea 1950-1953 in 2020 to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the war, according to the weekly magazine, The Main Actor Review.
The book begins with a Korean proverb, A shrimp s back gets broken in a whale fight. The implied meaning of the proverb is that capitalist and communist states joined forces in World War II to beat imperial and militarist states, and in the Korean War, capitalist and communist countries duked it out in the final match.
