A House Divided: Photos From Korea’s 1948 Yeosu-Suncheon Rebellion

Korea 1948 | A House Divided: Photos From Korea’s 1948 Yeosu-Suncheon Rebellion | LIFE.com

"Here, in an effort to perhaps add some needed context to the current situation on either side of the 38th parallel, LIFE.com presents a series of photos by the great Carl Mydans, who was on the ground when the rebellion began, and bore witness to the carnage that followed. (We should also note that the Yeosu-Suncheon Rebellion came on the heels of the South Korean army’s notoriously violent suppression of an uprising on the island of Jeju, off the southern coast of Korea, in April 1948.)"

  1. Is the U.S. trying to "justify" a "pre-emptive" strike against N/K?????
    Sure sounds like it when you listen to the news about the "supposed" leaked info from military intelligence.
