    About North Korea/South Korea

    The Korean peninsula, divided for more than fifty years, is stuck in a time warp. Millions of troops face one another along the Demilitarized Zone separating communist North Korea and capitalist South Korea. In the early 1990s and again in 2002-2003, the United States and its allies have gone to the brink of war with North Korea. Misinterpretations and misunderstandings are fueling the crisis. “There is no country of comparable significance concerning which so many people are ignorant,” American anthropologist Cornelius Osgood said of Korea some time ago. This ignorance may soon have fatal consequences.
    North Korea, South Korea is a short, accessible book about the history and political complexites of the Korean peninsula, one that explores practical alternatives to the current US policy: alternatives that build on the remarkable and historic path of reconciliation that North and South embarked on in the 1990s and that point the way to eventual reunification.

    Praise

    “Northeast Asia is the world’s most dynamic economy, with rapidly developing industry, high technology, rich resources, and half the world’s foreign exchange reserves. South Korea’s social and political achievements are no less remarkable than its spectacular economic growth. Peaceful integration of North Korea into the region, along with desperately needed internal changes, are essential for further progress. The alternative could be military confrontation with frightful consequences. The tasks ahead are not easy ones, but they are feasible. The U.S. role will surely be critical, and it is of the utmost importance for Americans to understand the issues, their background, and the prospects. John Feffer provides a deeply informed and lucid account of all these matters, full of insight, pointing the way to constructive solutions that are within our grasp.” –Noam Chomsky


    “[A] lucid, hard-hitting overview.” –Selig Harrison, The Nation


    “A masterful, informative, eminently accessible look at the Korean crisis; especially valuable is John Feffer’s discussion of what animates North Korea’s stance vis-a-vis the US. Feffer’s elucidation of the historical forces and social attitudes that have shaped Kim Jong Il’s regime shows that far from being irrational or psychotic, Kim’s actions have a logical consistency grounded in a well-founded mistrust of US intentions and agendas. I highly recommend this book.” –C.S. Soong, host of Living Room, KPFA (Pacifica) Radio in Berkeley, Ca.

    “Feffer’s analysis is the most reliable, balanced report available on the Korean ‘threat.’” –Chalmers Johnson, author of Blowback: The Costs and Consequences of American Empire
