Charles J. Hanley, ’68, has won a coveted “starred” review from Kirkus Reviews for his book “Ghost Flames: Life and Death in a Hidden War, Korea 1950-1953,” published by PublicAffairs/Perseus in August.
The publisher describes the book as “a powerful, character-driven narrative of the Korean War from the Pulitzer Prize-winning writer who helped uncover some of its longest-held and darkest secrets.”
It tells the story of the war through the eyes of 20 individuals who lived through it, from a North Korean refugee girl to the Chinese commanding general to a U.S. Marine hero. In part, “Ghost Flames” is a product of years of investigative journalistic work with the AP by which Hanley and colleagues brought to light some of the unknown horrors of the conflict. Kirkus calls it “masterly. … A top-notch addition to the literature on the Korean War.”
