The Book of Corrections (Chingbirok) is a record of the events surrounding the Japanese invasion of Korea later known as the Imjin War (1592–1598). The author, government minister Yu Sŏngnyong, vividly portrays all the major developments of the crisis, as well as the men who were involved in it. This annotated translation by Professor Choi brings to the modern reader the book's spirit of neo-Confucian self-examination, strict discipline in thought and expression, and seasoned wisdom and sincere efforts to overcome serious national crises.
