Life

The son of missionary parents, Shorrock grew up in Japan shortly after the US occupation following the Second World War.[1] He has written articles for several magazines, including Harper's, Mother Jones, The Nation,[2] and Salon.[3] He also worked as a reporter in the Washington bureau of The Journal of Commerce.[4] In a visit to Korea after the April Revolution, Tim witnessed South Korea's autocrat Syngman Rhee overthrown. He later said, "That was the first time in my life that I ever saw people rise up and throw out a dictator. I always remember the April uprising. That was a big influence on my life."[5]
