Winchester's journey into Jeju Island is quite fascinating. He actually incorporates a lot of the island's history into this chapter including An insurgent attack by the forefathers of North Korea in the late 1940's as a way to double team the South and its allies: "Had the Communists ploy succeeded in Jeju, the whole of Korea might be united - under the malevolent leadership of Kim Il Sung."
