John S. Elmo

A gripping, absorbing tale of the
Korean War and the prison riots on
Koje-do during the last year of the
Forgotten War.

John S. Elmo's riveting accounts of
what it was like to be in Korea with
the U.S. Army in 1953 captures the
very essence of being a draftee
soldier embroiled in the conflict.

Beggars Island, a fast moving novel is
written from Elmos perspective and
experience in being a Company Clerk, a
pivotal person involved with the day
to day management and leadership of
any Army unit.

His descriptions of the accounts,
characters, interpersonal emotions and
actions paint a stirringly realistic
explanation of what happened in and
around Koje-do during the final phases
of the Korean War.
