After having finished writing Autobiography of Ahn Eung-chil, Ahn began to write A Treatise on Peace in the East. Ahn, however, was able to finish only “The Preface”
and “Part 1: The Reviews of the Past.” Ahn was executed after suggesting the titles of Part 2 “Current State of Affairs,” Part 3 “The Contexts,” and Part 4 “Questions
and Answers.”
