RIDE THE WHITE TIGER

by Roger W. Clark ‧ RELEASE DATE: March 25, 1959

Based on the actual experiences of Kim, the illustrator of this book, and told in fiction form by his adopted G.I. father, this is the story of a Korean family during the communist invasion. When Kim's father dies he is catapulted from the easy life of adolescence into the full responsibility of adulthood. Bred in the Oriental tradition of filial piety, his load is heavy, but against the obstacles of hunger and fear, Kim leads his family to safety. His growth during the Korean crisis, and his love for an American soldier killed in battle, bring him to a dual perspective, a firm belief in the traditional ways and a sense of impending and promising change. A timely episode which reads with the genuine excitement of fast-paced journalism.
