Description - Shadow Of Arms by Hwang Sok-yong

The only Korean best-seller you'll be selling this year- an international superstar and beloved house author returns to the SSP list with themes that pierce our shared US-Korean history.

A novel of the black markets of the South Vietnamese city of Da Nang during the Vietnam War, based on the author's experiences as a self-described South Korean mercenary on the side of the South Vietnamese, this is a Vietnam War novel like no other, truly one that sees the war from all sides. Scenes of battle are breathtakingly well told. The plot is thick with intrigue and complex subplots. But ultimately The Shadow of Arms is a novel of the human condition rather than of the exploits and losses of one side or the other in war.
