Korean Prisoners of War
The Korean War caused great devastation to the people of the Korea Peninsula. Although 20 other nations eventually became involved in the war, the Koreans saw it primarily as a civil war between the North and the South. In this photograph, Koreans suspected of being Communists are held by anti-Communist South Korean troops.
