In part three of a conversation with conscientious objector, pacifist and 1950s aid worker Joe Smucker, he discusses the paranoia and chaos that he witnessed in a country in the grip of a post-colonial and post-war reality. Plus, more on the Mennonites and their relationship with South Korea.

Also: an e-mail from a listener whose grandparents participated in educational and agricultural efforts in Daejon during the post-war period.
