Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection, edited by Distinguished Professor of Korean Studies Bonnie B. C. Oh, helps to fill a considerable gap in the English-language literature on Korea and the United States. Although much has been written about Korea in the Japanese colonial and World War II period and, of course, even more has been made available on the Korean War years, little has been written on the interim period when the United States attempted to rule Korea through a trusteeship. Focused on the occupation and reconstruction of Japan after World War II, the U.S. government conceived a trusteeship for Korea, which would free up American forces to concentrate on Japan. It seemed the perfect solution: it would allow the time needed for Koreans to prepare themselves for independence; it would maintain U.S. involvement and interests in Korea; and it would create the mechanism that could sustain international cooperation. Flawless as it might have seemed, the trusteeship—and its implementer, the American Military Government—did not heed the Korean people's heightened expectation and passion for independence. And it did not handle well the new Soviet-style government it found in place in the north of the peninsula. All together, the various missteps and miscalculations of the American Military Government—and Washington—contributed to the new war to come. Oh and her contributors shed light on this previously unexamained period, and make significant use of Korean-language sources in doing so. Essential reading for scholars, students, and researchers involved with modern Korean Studies, the Cold War, and U.S. military history.

Book excerpt: "This dissertation aims to clarify some aspects of the nature of America's Korean policy during the postwar era of 1945 to 1948. The first is as to whether or not the United States policy toward Korea was based upon her national interests -- political, economic, military ... The second is whether or not the United States had a long-term policy in Korea, with definite goals ... The third is regarding the basic objective of the American policy in Korea. Why did the United States remain in Korea for three years and what did she attempt to achieve there?"--Abstract.

Book excerpt: During the occupation period AMG confronted strong Korean opposition to many labor-management policies. The use of naked force rather than effective administration was the major AMG strategic approach. AMG openly and actively aided former collaborators of the Japanese colonial government and rightist politicians while destroying the largest workers' mass organization on the ground that it was dominated by leaders allied or sympathetic to the Soviet dominated North Korean government. This was the case even though AMG supported conservative political groups had lost mass legitimacy because of their collaboration with Japanese rule. The basic labor policy of AMG was promulgated in Washington was to encouragement of democratic workers organizations, the policy was translated into local actions sharply at variance with it. This was in striking contrast to Japan where the same basic occupation policy under the administration of General MacArthur headquarters resulted in support of leftist workers' organizations including some communist as a major bulwark against the reemergence of the system controlled by giant industrial cartels in league with the military. However, the GO-Political status of Korea was very different from that of Japan in addition to the presence of Soviet and Chinese troops north of the 38th parallel the exodus of a major Japanese owners and managers left a void in which there were no large scale capitalist groups to be restrained. AMG was left with the locally defined mission of curbing the strong influence of various leftist ideologies which had been the base of Korean opposition to Japanese colonial rule for some forty years. Conservative unions replace those characterized as tainted with socialist, communist or other unexceptable ideologies. The growth of autonomous popular democratic institutions supported by industrial workers and farmers was thoroughly subordinated the politics as the result of AMG policies during these crucial formative years. Thus was laid the basis of strong state control of industrial relations and weak worker organizations, a situation which persists to this date.
