Riassunto

This reissue of Paul French's acclaimed introduction to North Korea provides an up-to-the-minute overview of the politics, economics and history of the DPRK, with added chapters dealing with recent events. A new foreword examines why North Korea has not gone away as a country or as an issue and argues that an understanding of the country is more important now than ever. A new in-depth postscript offers analysis of recent years and why Pyongyang felt compelled to test a bomb.

Recensione:

'French's...balanced study of North Korea today reminds us that...this longer historical view is essential if one is to grasp not only what drives the North Korean regime but what it shares (to the growing irritation of the Americans) with the South' --John Gittings, The Guardian

'Fact-packed and readable, this is a fine introduction for the general reader...trust Zed to tell it like it really is. --Aidan Foster-Carter, Senior Research Fellow, Leeds University
