Summary
For forty years, Jeong-geun has lived as a devoted pastor. But long before that, he was a man who killed innocent people. His former comrades still call those killings acts of patriotism, yet he knows they were part of a horrific massacre.
The setting was the Vietnam War, which South Korea entered in 1965. The war claimed countless lives, and not all of them were soldiers. Deep in the jungle, Korean troops repeatedly massacred civilians. Jeong-geun was one of the perpetrators. Now, before age and time further erode his memory, he has made a decision: to speak the truth. Before his fading recollections are irreversibly altered, he sets out to record what happened and confess to the world what he once took part in.
A man who has lived as a soldier, a killer, and a pastor—why did he take part in the slaughter of innocent people? Why does he choose to speak now, after a lifetime of silence? And will he be able to hold on to the truth until the very end?
Because he does not have much time left.
