What is their war plan and how do they operate? Who are their allies and what are their weaknesses? What is the experience of Israel, the Islamic world, and the United States in fighting Muslim extremists? How can they be defeated?

Paperback octavo, very good condition, bottom edge slightly marked, minor edgewear. 229 pp. This book is about the concept that Koreans have developed ways of turning depression into "sweet sorrow" to be able to live with it as a transcending experience instead of abhorring it. This book has first-person accounts of the experiences of elderly Korean immigrants in both Korea and America - their life patterns, values, beliefs, attitudes, and personalities. Their personal stories are rich and vivid about everyday life, illness, and self-care, and clarifying mind-body relationships that have not been clear until now despite decades of study.
