About the Book- Silver Stallion: A Novel of Korea

Silver Stallion 's stage is a small South Korean village and its surrounding countryside. The central characters are a group of teen-agers, particularly a young villager named Mansik, who change from boys into under-age men as the American invaders involve them and their fellow Koreans in the sordid moral and physical wreckage of the war. After being raped, Mansik's mother joins the ''U.N. ladies'' (also known as ''Yankee wives'') in the occupied area called Texas Town and suffers the social consequences of prostitution. For Mansik and his friends, however, there is retreat into a realm of fantasy. As the war goes on around them, they search, as did their ancestors, for a secret cave, the home of a legendary warrior general who was sent by the gods to free Korea from the Mongols.
