Description
Book Introduction
Who else is coming and causing suffering to the people?
Our leaders lived.
Have a drink~
It is said that in the five thousand years of Korean history, there have been approximately 1,000 invasions.
The great men who defended their nation from countless foreign invasions. Were their battles motivated solely by noble ideals? Or were there also absurd, absurd reasons and circumstances? "Korean History Through War" vividly reveals the "true story of Korea's wars," filled with colorful and absurd events.
Looking at the countless human figures, such as Gyeon Hwon, who was blinded by revenge and destroyed the country he founded, Won Gyun, who drove drunk in the 16th century, and King Gojong, who called in foreign troops because he was afraid of the peasants who rebelled, Korean history feels like an irony that cannot be laughed at or shed tears, rather than a magnificent and great record.
"Korean History Through War" is the third book in the "History Stories That Are Even More Interesting in Comics" series.
To aid understanding and add fun, we actively utilized internet memes and black humor, and also meticulously paid attention to historical facts and verification.
In particular, this book evokes more empathy, laughter, and tears because it is not a story about another country, but a story about our own country.
Moreover, the combination of Saladin, who is skilled at uncovering the hidden side of history, and Bso, a history nerd, will provide an opportunity to look at history that we thought we knew in a new light, and a way to easily and enjoyably accept history that can feel heavy.

Publisher's Review
Is the leaders' nonsense a long-standing tradition in the Korean Peninsula's half-millennium history?
Discover the hidden truth behind the history of great victories!
Knock, knock, knock! Today, too, the history community is flooded with all sorts of posts.
From articles with academic depth to 'nonsense' articles with no nutritional value, 'clickbait' articles that you don't know why they're posted, to 'serial articles' that are well-received and become serials...
In the midst of all the information out there, it's not easy to find articles that are both fun and informative.
However, I don't feel like opening a thick, boring brick book or a middle or high school textbook.
As a result, history becomes difficult and boring for most people.
But “Korean History Through War” is different.
It shows how Korean history flowed from the Later Three Kingdoms period to the Korean War, not only through 'historical moments' such as great victories and crushing defeats, but also through internet memes and black humor, the 'dark history' and the nonsense and mistakes of leaders that we didn't know about behind them.
But it would be a mistake to think of it as simply a collection of funny historical stories.
Because behind all the laughter in this book were the suffering and cries of the people.
King Uija who abandoned the capital in a moment of crisis and fled; Gyeon Hwon who destroyed the country he had founded in a fit of vengeance; Kim Jong-hyeon who became the hero of the Battle of Gwiju after getting lost; and Kim Don-jung who burned General Jeong Jung-bu's beard as a joke and ended up beheaded and ruining the country. When we see the ridiculous antics and ridiculous mistakes of these leaders and the suffering of the people, we realize that war does not only leave behind glorious memories, and that sometimes history is full of irony and mistakes.
Through the 5,000-year history of Korea, which is both humorous and heartwarming, readers will have a unique experience not found in existing history books.
