Product Information
This reissue of Paul French's acclaimed introduction to North Korea provides an up-to-the-minute overview of the politics, economics and history of the DPRK, with added chapters dealing with recent events. A new foreword examines why North Korea has not gone away as a country or as an issue and argues that an understanding of the country is more important now than ever. A new in-depth postscript offers analysis of recent years and why Pyongyang felt compelled to test a bomb.

"This longer historical view is essential, if one is to grasp not only what drives the North Korean regime but what it shares (to the growing irritation of the Americans) with the South." - John Gittings, Guardian "French certainly knows his stuff, and there is no shortage of good arguments and facts as he details this thesis and its worrying implications. This is a book packed with information without being emotional or rhetorical as the subject tends to make people." - Asia Times "North Korea stuck with the Stalinism and is now on the point of collapse, with millions suffering from starvation and the remainder overworked and underfed. Explaining how and why this has all come about and what might happen in the future is French's task in this book."- John Walsh, Professor at Shinawatra International University, Bangkok. "Throughout the book, French is careful to consider the role of historical events and outside state actors in shaping North Korea." - Asian Review of Books "North Korea: The Paranoid Peninsula - A Modern History serves as an excellent introduction for anyone hoping to develop an understanding of why the world deals with this isolated regime the way it does, and how the regime continues to survive despite failures that seem obvious from the outside." - The Ethnic Conflict Research Digest, 'This longer historical view is essential, if one is to grasp not only what drives the North Korean regime but what it shares (to the growing irritation of the Americans) with the South.' - John Gittings, Guardian'French certainly knows his stuff, and there is no shortage of good arguments and facts as he details this thesis and its worrying implications.

Once again at the cutting edge of a post-colonial hot spot, trust Zed to tell it like it really is.' - Aidan Foster-Carter, Leeds University, UK; Author of Korea's Coming Reunification and many other works on the peninsula'Paul French has written a thorough and erudite book that offers many intriguing insights about the world's most mysterious country led by an equally mysterious regime. The book's main merit is that the author ignores empty "axis-of-evil" rhetoric in an effort to concisely inform his reader.' - Lutz Kleveman, author of The New Great Game:Blood and Oil in Central Asia (2003)'Paul French's book on North Korea is a comprehensive look at one of the world's most secretive countries. It is a miracle that he has been able to find out so much about a country that publishes no data, highly restricts visits by foreigners and bans its people from talking to them without official approval. I praise his objective and documentary style, about a country that lends itself easily to polemics.' - Mark O'Neill, Shanghai correspondent for South China Morning Post'Paul French has provided a well-researched A-Z primer on the history, politics, culture and even day-to-day life of North Korea.' - Peter Gordon, Editor, The Asian Review of Books and Chairman, Russian Interest Group, Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce'A useful introduction to this most opaque nation. The reportage and historical perspectives are illuminating.' - Joe Studwell, Editor in chief, China Economic Quarterly (CEQ) and author of The China Dream'Rich in detail, well researched, Paul French's thorough yet readable book is a fascinating and valuable addition to our scant knowledge of this singularly secretive, country.' - Catherine Armitage, China bureau chief, The Australian'A profound and comprehensive analysis of the DPRK's political and socio-economic peculiarities''A dispassionate analysis.' - Acta Koreana, "A profound and comprehensive analysis of the DPRK's political and socio-economic peculiarities" -- 'A dispassionate analysis.' - Acta Koreana "Fact-packed and readable, this is a fine introduction for the general reader to a troubling land.
