"Bluth offers a brilliant assessment of an enduring paradox. The
Cold War turned Hot back in 1950 over Korea, and this was where the
UN first tested its post-World War II doctrines, leaving no
resolution between the two rival states, North Korea and South
Korea. With no peace treaty, the Korean War never officially ended,
and in 2006 when the North announced it was now a nuclear state we
once again stared into an abyss known as the DMZ. Bluth's book is
indispensable reading for those who want to understand why Korea
should concern us all."
Keith Howard, SOAS, University of London
"This book is the most up-to-date historical account and
thoughtful analysis of the on-going North Korean nuclear weapons
program. It is an important addition to the existing literature in
developing a deep understanding of the nuclear crisis on the Korean
peninsula."
Woosang Kim, Yonsei University
