- Summary:
- Through travels that range from Geneva to Pyongyang, this remarkable book takes readers on an odyssey through one of the most extraordinary forgotten tragedies of the Cold War: the ""return"" of over 90,000 people, most of them ethnic Koreans, from Japan to North Korea from 1959 onward.
