内容説明
The Two Koreas is the definitive text of contemporary Korean history from the hottest point of the Cold War to the present.. Korea represents the last vestige of the Cold War. The struggle between the two Koreas has repeatedly claimed the headlines of the world with acts of terrorism, disputes over nuclear might, and ever-changing relationships of the two with the outside powers of Japan, Russia, and China. Don Oberdorfer saw many of these crises first-hand as a journalist for the Washington Post . Building on his extensive experience, many previously unavailable documents, and unparalleled access to the leadership circles in both Korean states, Oberdorfer has written a gripping narrative history of the conflict between the two Koreasand the involvement of the outside worldplacing the political tension within a historical context, looking at the democratic South and the communist North through the lens of the past twenty-five years.

Building on his extensive experience, many previously unavailable documents, and unparalleled access to the leadership circles of the two Korean states and the great powers, he has written a gripping narrative history of Koreas travails and triumphs over the past quarter century. The involvement of the outside worldincluding a chilling account of the nuclear showdown that brought the United States perilously close to war with North Korea in 1994receives extensive treatment and special emphasis.
