Product Description

North Korea/South Korea is a short, accessible book about the history and politics of the Korean peninsula, with a focus on the U.S. presence. The first of four sections is a snapshot of the status quo. The second section establishes a political and economic context through an exploration of the history of the Korean peninsula, including the Korean War. The third section surveys the current regional political dynamic. The last section concentrates on the shift in emphasis in U.S. foreign policy from engagement under the Clinton administration to containment under the Bush administration. Feffer offers concrete proposals for U.S. policies that could help reduce tensions on the Korean peninsula.

John Feffer is the editor of Power Trip: U.S. Foreign Policy After September 11.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book on North/South Korea-US Relations, Mar 11 2004

Anthony Smith (Oakdale, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: North Korea/South Korea: U.S. Policy & the Korean Peninsula (Paperback)

I enjoyed this book very much. It covers a wide variety of issues concerning U.S.-North Korea-South Korea relations. North Korea is a country we as Americans know so little about. This is a great introductory book to the U.S. policies towards North Korea and why even the U.S. Government's ally, South Korea doesn't agree with their policies. A definite must-read for anyone interested in International Affairs.

This review is from: North Korea/South Korea: U.S. Policy & the Korean Peninsula (Paperback)

In one sitting, this book offers the inquiring reader a complete lesson on all that one needs to know about one of the most dangerous spots on the globe. It is well written, concise, and to the point. What lesson it offers are worth knowning, especially if one is worried about the Bush administration pre-emptive strike policy.
