I read this book because I saw a good review of it in CHOICE(Jan, 2004). The author has a thorough understanding of how the North Koreans think and I just hope that our own negotiators are reading things like this before they make any unnecessary faux pas that would result in more harm than good. We can't expect the N. Koreans or any other country to think and react the same way we do, esp. a country that is so different ideologically from us. I thought the book provided good insight.
Right book, right time

How to negotiate with North Korea is a big issue these days.To persuade the communists Americans should understand them first before simply threaten them. How much US deligaes know about North Korea? The author published this just in time. He is very well qualified to write this book. For Americans negotiation means how to compromise and get the mutual benefits but for North Koreans it means how to win and get everything they want. A wonderful book written out of experiences.
