The Korean war has interested me since I spent some weeks in South Korea during the 'Pueblo Crisis', when North Korea captured a US Navy spy ship in its territorial waters. The response of South Koreans was an outpouring of enormous pride at the accomplishment--and of memories about the Korean War, whose scars were still visible.
The memories of the South Korean people to whom I spoke supported Burchett's account of the war: namely that we were the aggressors throughout, that we treated the Korean people (South and North) brutally, and that the Northerners are heroes to the Southerners for their principled resistance to invasion and occupation by a foreign power.
Burchett has written one of the few eye-witness accounts of the Korean and Vietnamese conflicts from the 'other' side.
With reunification of the two parts of Korea now under way, we can expect to hear more about that other side in years to come. In the meantime, Burchett's book is a useful antidote to the usual propaganda.

"Memoirs of a Rebel Journalist: The Autobiography of Wilfred Burchett" Overview

For most of his working life, controversial Australian journalist Wilfred Burchett chose to report from the “other side”. His unorthodox views and activities caused him to be labeled a traitor by many. Criticized ferociously by anti-communist groups and intelligence organizations in Australia and the US, the Australian Government denied him a passport for 17 years, forcing him to live in exile. At a time when much international reporting is dominated by ‘spin’ and propaganda, this compelling autobiography resonates with the issues facing journalism today.
