On the topic of writing about the Gwangju Uprising, an article I wrote for Transactions of the Royal Asiatic Society - Korea Branch (Vol. 94, 2019), titled "'Tell the World what is Happening': The Americans who Witnessed the Kwangju Uprising," can be read here. It is based on published accounts by, and interviews with, missionaries and Peace Corps Volunteers present in Gwangju in May 1980, as well as US embassy cables
(And yes, I've come to accept using Gwangju with a G, but it seemed silly to try to do so when working with English language sources that all used 'Kwangju'...)
