Publisher Synopsis
?Although some readers may find Lee's book top heavy on economic matters, the in-depth analyses of the Kim's pet projects, from goat raising to dam building, are interesting as well as highly informative. Much of this information can be found in no other book on North Korea. Whenever the spotlight of public attention shines on isolated North Korea, as it did with the nuclear controversy of the early 1990's and more recenlty with President George W. Bush's designation of North Korea as a member of the "axis of evil," political pundits come out of the woodwork to speculate eagerly about what North Korea is up to and where it is going. Lee's solid research reminds us that North Korea was the same before it emerged from the shadow's and, notwithstanding the West's engagement, is likely to pursue its perverse "socialism in our own style" for some time to come.?-Journal of Asian Studies Read more...
