(Fred Arthur) Mackenzie, Frederick Arthur Korea's Fight for Freedom Reading ease score: 70.2 (7th grade). Fairly easy to read. Produced by PG Distributed Proofreaders. Produced from images provided by the Million Book Project "Korea's Fight for Freedom" by Fred A. McKenzie is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on Korea's struggle for liberation from Japanese rule, particularly highlighting the peaceful uprising of the Korean people in 1919. McKenzie, who was once supportive of Japan, became a critic after witnessing the harsh realities faced by Koreans under Japanese control, such as brutality, oppression, and the systematic destruction of their national identity. The opening of the book provides a vivid backdrop to Korea's fight for its dignity and freedom. McKenzie describes the 1919 uprising as a significant moment of valor where ordinary Koreans, including women and children, gathered to protest against their oppressors without weapons, fully aware of the likely repercussions. He highlights the inhumane methods employed by the Japanese regime to suppress dissent, including torture and imprisonment, framing the narrative around the rise of a national consciousness among Koreans, fueled by their Christian teachings and strengthened by a newfound sense of unity. This segment sets the stage for a detailed exploration of Korea's tumultuous path toward independence and the unfolding struggle against colonial authority.
