War has constantly plagued Korea since the Second World War. The first instance was when the Japanese invaded Korea and colonized it for most of the war. Then a few years later, the Korean War erupted and thousands of Korean civilians were caught in the crossfire between the South and North Korean factions.

Tensions between the two countries constantly arise, centering around the DMZ (demilitarized zone) that borders them. A nuclear war, for many military analysts, is most likely to start in the Korean peninsula. Author Brian D. Pardo's 'A Year In The Sun' is a story about the Korean conflict and the many lives it has affected.
