Description
From Bruce Cummings, historian and analyst of Korea, comes this timely look at North Korea and its troubled relations with the United States. American commentary has positioned North Korea as a hated member of the "Axis of Evil" with an insane, Stalinist leader, but also as a mysterious and unknown adversary. Utilizing an expensive array of formerly secret documents, Cummings demonstrates that we know a considerable amount about North Korea and that the situation is more complex than the media or leaders allow.
