This book takes a raw look at Switzerland's neutral mission in the Korean demilitarized zone and offers highly explosive findings in terms of geopolitical, sociological and photographic media history as an archival source for the Swiss photographic collection. Denise Bertschi's book exposes through the lens of photographers who were shot down by Swiss soldiers and senior officers stationed in Korea for a "neutral" mission, which lasted from 1953 to today. The gap between the fiction of "neutrality" and its state thoughts gives rise to State Fiction.
