Under Five Flags Hackchan Rhee

Under Five Flags is the true account of Hackchan Rhee's experiences under a variety of governments and political circumstances. Through it all, he's seen that people share not only the finer characteristics of humanity, but the dark undercurrents as well. Born in Pyongyang, Korea, before World War II, and eventually moving to the United States, Rhee has lived under the rule of Japan, Russia, North Korea, South Korea, and the United States. His experiences taught him the futility of socialism and the devastation that a "planned economy" can have on a society.
