This book instead elevates the formative role of the conflicts that defined the second half of the Chosôn Dynasty.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs the first work to thoroughly examine the formation of the Korean nation before the modern era, \u003ci\u003eThe Great East Asian War and the Birth of the Korean Nation\u003c\/i\u003e is an enormous contribution to scholarship on Korean and East Asian history and to the study of nations and nationalism throughout the world. It is certain to cement JaHyun Kim Haboush's legacy as one of the most brilliant scholars of her era. -- Jungwon Kim, Columbia University, co-translator of \u003ci\u003eWrongful Death: Selected Inquest Records from Nineteenth Century Korea\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis singular book can be savored on many levels. The lover of fiction will find high dramas of alien invasions and sacked homes, replete with blood and valor worthy of Hollywood. The scholar—of East Asia or elsewhere—will be challenged to rethink the relationship between the nation, language, and modernity. It saddens me that there will be no more books by the incomparable JaHyun Kim Haboush after this one. -- Dorothy Ko, Barnard College, coeditor of \u003ci\u003eThe Birth of Chinese Feminism: Essential Texts in Transnational Theory\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHaboush’s innovative research shows how Korea emerged as one of the first imagined communities, and one of the most enduring. * Foreign Affairs *\u003cbr\u003eA welcome contribution to the study of Chosŏn Korea. -- Nam-Lin Hur * Journal of Asian Studies *\u003cbr\u003eA provocative re-examination of an important period of East Asian history. * Journal of Early Modern History *\u003cbr\u003eRequired reading for anyone interested in the discourse of a nation more generally and in this particular war. * The Sixteenth Century Journal *\u003cbr\u003eThis provocative book reminds us of [Haboush’s] signal contributions to the history of early modern Korea. * Journal of Interdisciplinary History *\u003cbr\u003eA welcome addition to recent scholarship.... Haboush's manuscript leaves readers with much to ponder about the Imjin War, literature, and nationhood in the premodern world.... Highly recommended. * Choice *\u003cbr\u003eFor her service, Haboush deserves our praise, and I am glad that her widower, her students, and her friends brought these unfinished notes to light. We have a significant contribution in this slim volume. * Monumenta Nipponica 72:1 *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForeword, by William J.
