Talking to North Korea: Ending the Nuclear Standoff

By Glyn Ford and James Glyn Ford

Book Overview

Few attempts have been made to understand the internal logic of Kim Jong-un's regime and why life in North Korea is so difficult.

This provocative insider's account blasts apart the myths which paint North Korea as a rogue state run by a mad leader. Informed by extraordinary access to the country's leadership, Glyn Ford investigates the regime from the inside, providing game-changing insights. Acknowledging that North Korea is a deeply flawed and barbaric state, he nonetheless shows that sections of the leadership are desperate to modernize and end their isolation.

With chapters on recent developments including the Trump / Kim summit, Ford supports a dialogue between East and West and provides a road map to avert the looming threat of a war that would threaten the lives of millions.
