520 8 |a Since the 1950s, more than 100,000 Korean children have been adopted by predominantly white Americans; they were orphans of the Korean War, or so the story went. But begin the story earlier, and what has long been viewed as humanitarian rescue reveals itself as an exercise in expanding American empire during the Cold War.
