- Summary:
- "As the Korean war (1950-1953) drew to a close and South Korea began to rebuild, American GI Roger Marshutz (1929-2007) was stationed in Pusan to photograph U.S. reconstruction efforts. In his spare time, Marshutz also wandered the streets, documenting the daily life of Korean civilians. The Forgotten Home Front: Roger Marshutz's Photographs of Pusan, South Korea, 1952-1954 offers both an official and unofficial look at U.S.-South Korean relations, as well as a portrait of a country in the midst of enormous political, economic, and cultural transformation."-- Provided by publisher.
