Customer Reviews

Both sides of the debate...

I try to read as much as possible about Korea, both North and South. I found this book while working on a research paper and I ended up buying it. It covers many issues dealing with North/South Korea, but it doesn't only give you a one-sided story. The editors found some of the leading writers/scholars on the topics presented and had compiled opposing view points so that the reader can decide for him/herself. The topics covered are: 1) Is North Korea a serious threat? (4 articles) 2) What is the State of Democracy in North and South Korea (4 articles) 3) What should US policy be towards North and South Korea? (6 articles) 4) What is the future of North and South Korea (6 articles)
