It's not a book, that I know of, but I saw the movie last night. It's about two South Korean brothers during the war. I haven't seen a lot of films on the Korean War, let alone ones about South Korean troops and not the Americans. I'd say something about the film, but I don't want to ruin it if you plan on seeing it. It's a Korean film all the way through, so you have to read subtitles if you don't know Korean. I will say that it's one of the best "see the horror of war" films I have seen. That's something I always liked about foreign war films--there is no Hollywood play in them. Anyone see Stalingrad or The Winter War? If you have, you know what I'm getting at. It's two and a half hour worth of movie--and I'm not ashamed to say, my eyes were watery by the end.
Here it is at Barnes and Noble:
