Dear Friends, Twitter Followers, and Researchers:

I will soon be posting a Patreon page to link my websites, this archive, and a new podcast into a paying platform. My goal is to finance the writing and publication of my next book, DMZ EMPIRE: Southern Korea and Japan in America’s Pacific Strategy, 1943 to 2023, and continue to make my Gwangju archives available to the hundreds of researchers who have read and downloaded them here. I will also create a new archive for the book-in-progress and my broader tale of US intervention in Korea and Japan after World War II. It will encompass nearly 50 years of reporting, from Seoul in 1960 to Washington in 2022. For the latest news and developments in DMZ EMPIRE, stay tuned by following me on Twitter @TimothyS. My latest posting of documents can be found here.  Any questions? Email me.
