The last that I knew, because of a period when I read early things-in English-about Old Korea, this chart pretty-well represented the known sources of Old Korea's written history. This book cover, published 1992, says "Mark Clifford covered South Korea as a correspondent for Far Eastern Economic Review from 1987 to 1992, where he was also a frequent contributor to BBC World Service. He is a past president of the Seoul Foriegn Correspondents' Club, which taught him more about Korean labor relations than he ever wanted to know. A graduate of the University of California at Berkely, he is currently the Business Editor of Far Eastern Economic Review in Hong Kong." |
