Summary: Excellent piece of work.
Comment: Unlike some other books about Korea, this book gives an objective account of Korea's political troubles. Much of its content is about recent Korean history. There are lots of discussion regarding N. Korea atomic developments and its consequences to the rest of the world. The author made a great effort to explain the truth and shows that people should not be blind to accept media's biased reportings.

Rating: 1
Summary: painfull bias , distorted views
Comment: Chooses to spew venom at the US for it's policy towrds NK. Highly ignorant of some serious revelant facts regarding North Korea's devlopment before the Korean War, and uses every possible chance to spread his own brand of anti-US propoganda while claiming to be "objective"

10 will get you 20 that this book can be found in most North Korean Book collections, its that distorted.

Rating: 5
Summary: Great book
Comment: This book is an excellent source of information about the reality of the Korean problem. The author explains the difficulties Korea has gone through since ancient times, primarily focusing on recent history. Chapter 1 offers perspective and history of N. Korea's nuclear ambitions. Chapter 2 and 3 describes history from ancient to annexation by Japan. Chapter 4 explains Korea under Japanese rule. Chapter 5 explains the origins of the division of the peninsula, Chapter 6 deals with Korean War and Chapter 7 explains the aftermath of the war. Strongly recommended!
