A major new history of North and South Korea, from the late nineteenth century to the present day

Korea has a long, riveting history—it is also a divided nation. South Korea is a vibrant democracy, the tenth largest economy, and is home to a world-renowned culture. North Korea is ruled by the most authoritarian regime in the world, a poor country in a rich region, and is best known for the cult of personality surrounding the ruling Kim family. But both Koreas share a unique common history.

Victor Cha and Ramon Pacheco Pardo draw on decades of research to explore the history of modern Korea, from the late nineteenth century, Japanese occupation, and Cold War division to the present day. A small country caught amongst the world's largest powers—including China, Japan, Russia, and the United States—Korea's fate has been closely connected to its geography and the strength of its leadership and society. This comprehensive history sheds light on the evolving identities of the two Koreas, explaining the sharp differences between North and South, and prospects for unification.

I feel like I've had a very genuine, well-researched and honest history lesson. The information was completely unbiased and it didn't stay away from the difficult stuff. I understand why the country split and it also gives a good picture of what unification would look like in the future. I recommend this to everyone.

Unbiased and Fascinating

The book helped me understand the timeline of the events that occurred which resulted the modern day North Korea and South Korea, but I found myself stopping regularly to research names and events to get in in depth understanding of who these people were and how they came to be involved. The philosophies, the bloodlines, etc; there's so much more I would have loved to have been able to read in this book. On the whole, it felt somewhat sterile, I didn't "feel" the drama of this tumultuous time in history.

Lots of names and dates, not much insight
