Used Book in Good Condition
The Park Chung Hee Era: The Transformation of South Korea is a more nuanced take on what exactly transpired in South Korea in the middle and latter half of the 20th century politically and economically, written by both native and Western commentators. Worth the expense and time so far (I picked it up a few months back and got through about half so far).
Read any history of the era. You might try first of all The Park Chung Hee Era, a collection of essays edited by Byung-kook Kim and Ezra Vogel. Then you might try asking a few people that were around at the time - he did significantly more than
"quell a riot".
EDIT: Also, please note that I couldn't give a monkey's toss about your opinion. It's up to you to educate yourself. I'm not trying to win any hearts and minds here.
