Lost Names: Scenes from a Korean Boyhood (Forthieth Anniversary) by Richard E. Kim Children's Book creator and host of AdamIn this autobiography, Richard E. Kim paints seven vivid scenes from a boyhood and early adolescence in Korea at the height of the Japanese occupation during WWII, 1932 to 1945.
