Publishers Description: A New York Times Bestseller From the National Book Award-winning author of Waiting comes a powerful, unflinching novel that opens a window on an unknown aspect of a little-known war - the experiences of Chinese POWs held by Americans during the Korean conflict. Set in 1951-1953, War Trash takes the form of the memoir of Yu Yuan, a young Chinese army officer with the corps of "volunteers" sent by Mao to help shore up the Communist side in Korea. Ha Jin draws on true historical accounts to render the complex world the prisoners inhabit.
