North Korea : another country / Bruce Cumings.
By: Cumings, Bruce
Language: İngilizce Publisher: New York : New Press, 2004Description: 241 p. 23 cmISBN: 156584873X (hbk.)Subject(s): Korea (North) | Korea (North) -- Social conditions | Kore (Kuzey) -- Sosyal durumLOC classification: DS932 | .C86 2004Review: "Judging from media reports, North Korea is the country Americans love to hate. A charter member of Bush's "Axis of Evil" whose leader, Kim Jong Il, is routinely described as "insane" and "diabolical" and a self-proclaimed alternative to neo-liberalism and globalization, North Korea is anathema to conservative and liberal Americans alike. And now the CIA says it possesses one or two nuclear weapons, chemical and biological weapons of mass destruction, and long-range missiles capable of delivering atomic bombs or smallpox to America's West Coast." "Suffering no misconceptions regarding North Korea's dubious political tradition - from human-rights violations to token democracy - Bruce Cumings insists on a more nuanced understanding of U.S.-North Korean relations. From CIA reports on North Korea's impressive social programs to that country's genuine efforts to address the new strategic environment since the collapse of the Soviet Union, Cumings draws from his extensive knowledge of Korean history and declassified government reports to show that North Korea is as fascinating as it is repellent, as formidable as it is unique and idiosyncratic."--BOOK JACKET.Item type | Current location | Home library | Collection | Call number | Vol info | Copy number | Status | Notes | Date due | Barcode |
