- For a reference to the Hwarang, refer to J. S. Gale's _History_of_the_
- Korean_People_ published by the Royal Asiatic Society, 1972. It was a
- long term training school for the youth of the Silla dynasty.
-
- Gale's history covers the diplomatic and court history of Korea from the
- earliest times up to the Japanese Occupation. Naturally, some of the
- military history is also covered :-) .
