About this product

Product Information

North Korea seems impenetrable to outsiders, a bizarre, Stalinist sideshow and relic guerrilla state that defies explanation. For Washington, North Korea is a fully paid-up member of George Bush's "axis of evil," involved in a dangerous game of nuclear brinksmanship since last October. In this timely book, McCormack shows how decisive the founding myths and national identity forged through Korea's armed resistance to a brutal Japanese colonialism are, and how hardened North Korea has become over half a century of Cold War. He shows that at the heart of the Korean crisis is the role of Japan where the North Korean admission of having abducted Japanese citizens has created something of a right-wing, nationalist backlash in a country that itself once abducted thousands of Koreans and almost sixty years later has yet to fully apologize for its acts. A foreign policy satellite of the United States, Japan is now showing signs of becoming more militarily independent, wanting to reassert its old role as a regional hegemon. Permeated by so many ills, North Korea --paranoid, insecure, and ravaged by famine--is in a vice with few cards in its pack. The nuclear one has been its joker for at least a decade.

    ... a must read

    Gavan McCormack takes a fresh look at a highly controversial country, the DPRK and its leadership, and makes a cogent case for the US to make peace and bring an end to what is known to us as the Korean War. This war waged more than 50 years ago has obviously not resulted in resolution to either side, and a perilous state of war still exists and hangs treacherously over the lives of all people in the Korean peninsula. Demonizing the other side is often the easy way out for any ideologically motivated group, rightwing or left, who are not up to the task of untangling a very knotty situation. McCormack's book is a must read for those serious about getting to know about the least understood country in the world, the DPRK, and helping advance the cause of peace in that region of the world.
