<KR>
이 책은 이승만 정권 지지자들과 공산주의자로 의심받는 사람들(대부분 잘못) 또는 해방 후 두 번째로 큰 공산당인 남한 노동당 당원들 간의 유혈 충돌에 대한 분석적 설명을 제공합니다. 그 결과 약 8만 명의 마을 주민, 어부, 경찰이 사망했습니다. 이 책은 남한의 정부 기록, 회고록, 최근 기밀이 아닌 문서 등 다양한 주요 출처에서 발췌하여 제주 4.3 학살에서 남한 노동당의 역할과 한국전쟁의 기원을 어떻게 형성했는지 살펴봅니다. 저자는 4.3 학살의 발발부터 1949년까지 한반도를 휩쓴 1948년 10월 요수-순천 학살을 비롯한 일련의 폭력 사태를 통해 한국전쟁의 기원을 파악합니다. 현대 한국을 연구하는 모든 학자들에게 흥미로운 이 책은 한국전쟁에 초점을 맞춘 역사학자들뿐만 아니라 동아시아 분쟁에 관심이 있는 정치학자와 국제관계 전문가들에게도 특히 중요합니다.

This book offers an analytical account of the April Third Massacre in Korea, a bloody confrontation between supporters of the Syngman Rhee Administration and those suspected (largely incorrectly) of being Communists, or members of the South Korean Workers' Party-the second largest Communist Party after Korea's liberation from Japanese colonial rule. As a result, some 80,000 villagers, fishermen, and policemen were killed. The book, drawing from a wide array of primary sources, ranging from South Korean governmental records, memoranda, memoirs, and recently unclassified documents, examines the role of the South Korean Workers' Party in the April Third Massacre on Jeju and how it shaped the origins of the Korean War. The author maps these origins of the Korean War from the outbreak of the April Third Massacre and through the ensuing chain of violence which included the Yo-su and Sun-ch'on Massacres of October 1948, engulfing the peninsula until 1949. Of interest to all scholars studyingmodern Korea, it is particularly relevant to historians focused on the Korean War, as well as political scientists and international relations experts interested in East Asian conflicts.


<FR>
Ce livre présente un compte rendu analytique du troisième massacre d'avril en Corée, une confrontation sanglante entre les partisans de l'administration Syngman Rhee et ceux soupçonnés (en grande partie à tort) d'être communistes, ou membres du Parti ouvrier sud-coréen, deuxième parti communiste après la libération de la Corée du régime colonial japonais. En conséquence, quelque 80 000 villageois, pêcheurs et policiers ont été tués. Ce livre, tiré d'un large éventail de sources primaires, allant de documents gouvernementaux, de mémoires, de mémoires et de documents récemment non classifiés, examine le rôle du Parti ouvrier sud-coréen dans le troisième massacre d'avril à Jeju et comment il a façonné les origines de la guerre de Corée. L'auteur décrit les origines de la guerre de Corée depuis le début du troisième massacre d'avril et à travers la chaîne de violence qui a suivi, notamment les massacres Yo-su et Sun-ch'on d'octobre 1948, engloutissant la péninsule jusqu'en 1949. Intéressant pour tous les chercheurs qui étudient la Corée moderne, il est particulièrement pertinent pour les historiens qui se concentrent sur la guerre de Corée, ainsi que pour les politiciens et les spécialistes des relations internationales qui s'intéressent aux conflits en Asie de l'Est.
