Japan Inside Out

Originally published in June 1941, Japan Inside Out was written as a warning to the U.S. of the dangers of Japanese totalitarianism. It was not until the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941 that this incredibly insightful work was appreciated for revealing the threat that the U.S. faced from Japan. Nobel laureate Pearl Buck said in her review, "This is a book which Americans ought to read because it was written for them, and now is the time they ought to read it." If Americans had understood the psychology of Japanese war described by Syngman Rhee at that time, the U.S. could have reduced a considerable amount of casualties and cost.
Japan has become quite a different country since its defeat of World War Ⅱ. However, totalitarian regimes around the world still exist, suppressing their people and threatening their neighbors. They utilize the same military strategies and tactics used by Japan in the past, an archetypal scheme of menacing civilians, reporters, and missionaries. This book details all these steps, regardless of nation or time. Unfortunately, the accepted and amiable way of dealing with these dictatorships has proved to be nothing but procrastination, during which gnats become Goliaths. Syngman Rhee realized that in order to keep peace, the use of appropriate force was inevitable. As history repeats itself, this restored edition of Rhee's classic work will always have a purpose in global affairs. It is ultimately up to readers whether this is a textbook for those who wish to dominate, or those who wish to defend.

The restored edition of Japan Inside Out is based on twelve years of research (2005―2017). In this restored edition, typos and misnomers in the 1941 release were corrected, and historically inaccurate statements were described untouched together with the precise evidence and clear explanation mentioned in the editor's note. Unfortunately, only the first edition of Japan Inside Out have been translated so far. It is not until 2017 that the revision for the second edition done by Syngman Rhee is known to Gwangchang Media and Dr. Insoo Rhee, son of Syngman Rhee. It was proved that readers had only read the translated version of the first edition full of mistranslation.
Most of them must not know the existence of the additional paragraphs Syngman Rhee attached which directly warned the possibility of the Japanese attack toward the U.S. territory. Gwangchang Media adopted later editions of Japan Inside Out that attached additional pages because the revised version of Japan Inside Out seemed to be close to a more refined form of Syngman Rhee's original ideas.
Like the multi-national allied soldiers commanded by the General Douglas MacArthur who accomplished the legendary Incheon Amphibious Landing Operation for the counter attack during the Korean War, many fine people from countries all over the world took part in this endeavor. It was concluded that the restored edition of Japan Inside Out would be released on September 15th, 2017 in order to memorize the D-day of the successful Incheon Landing Operation in 1950. Gwangchang Media made a contract with Dr. Insoo Rhee, and finally successfully accomplished the restoration of the classic nobody else had imagined. This is the first official use of Syngman Rhee's intellectual property exerted in Korea.

Syngman Rhee(이승만)

Born in Pyongsan, Hwanghae Province in Korea, Rhee moved to the capital city, Seoul, at the age of three. Influenced by the newly arriving missionaries, he attended a Methodist school where he studied with foreign missionaries and domestic reformers. After suffering barbarous imprisonment for several years for his attempts to bring political democracy to Korea, he moved to the U. S. and was educated in George Washington University (B. A. 1907), Harvard University (M. A. 1908), and Princeton University (Ph. D. 1910). Believing he could help his homeland, Rhee returned to Korea but was hastily forced to relocate back to America in 1912 as the nation had been annexed by Japan. He continued to establish organizations abroad in order to fight for the liberation of Korea.
After experiencing and investigating Japanese militaristic maneuvers toward the East and West for several decades, he published Japan Inside Out in June, 1941, which posited the possibility of a Japanese attack on U. S. territory. Several months later, his prediction became a reality with the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941.
