"Korea's Fight for Freedom" by Fred A. McKenzie is a recount that captures Korea's early 20th-century battle against Japanese oppression. Once a supporter of Japan, McKenzie shifted his perspective after witnessing the suffering of Koreans under Japanese control, exposing the brutality and eradication of their cultural identity. The book portrays the Korean people's courageous yet peaceful resistance in 1919, where ordinary citizens, aware of potential repercussions, protested against their suppressors without weapons, leading to the rise of Korean national consciousness from Christian teachings and newfound unity. This set reveals the inhumane tactics by the Japanese regime like torture and imprisonment.
