Kim Il Sung in the Khrushchev Era: Soviet-dprk Relations And The Roots Of North Korean Despotism, 1953-1964 - Rilegato
Concentrating on the years 1953-64, this history describes how North Korea became more despotic even as other Communist countries underwent de-Stalinization. The author’s principal new source is the Hungarian diplomatic archives, which contain extensive reporting on Kim Il Sung and North Korea, thoroughly informed by research on the period in the Soviet and Eastern European archives and by recently published scholarship.
Much of the story surrounds Kim Il Sung: his Korean nationalism and eagerness for Korean autarky; his efforts to balance the need for foreign aid and his hope for an independent foreign policy; and what seems to be his good sense of timing in doing in internal rivals without attracting Soviet retaliation. Through a series of comparisons not only with the USSR but also with Albania, Romania, Yugoslavia, China, and Vietnam, the author highlights unique features of North Korean communism during the period. Szalontai covers ongoing effects of Japanese colonization, the experiences of diverse Korean factions during World War II, and the weakness of the Communist Party in South Korea.

Dalla quarta di copertina:
“In Kim Il Sung in the Khrushchev Era, Hungarian scholar Balazs Szalontai presents the first major study of post-Korean War North Korea based primarily on East European documents. His extensively researched, impressively detailed and insightful book does a great service to the fields of Korean studies, Cold War history, and the history of Communist regimes. It should be required reading for anyone curious about the workings of this reclusive country, not least the policymakers in Washington...”—Moscow Times
