The Two Koreas by Don Oberdorfer
The Cold War is over in the rest of the world, but confrontation continues to grow on the bitterly divided peninsula of Korea, where two of the world's largest and most powerful armies - along with 37,000 US troops - face each other across the demilitarized zone, ready to resume fighting at a moment's notice. This book sets out to explain Korean history as well as the potential political and economic crises of the current situation.
