This book examines the interaction between state security and regime security in South Korea from 1953 to 1960, under the leadership of President Syngman Rhee. Yong-Pyo Hong argues that the 'march north' was a manifestation of the president's concern for state and regime security and was an attempt to both remove the Communists from power, in line with Rhee's own vehement anti-Communist stance, and to unify Korea in the aftermath of the Korean War. Rhee's primary concern was the survival of his political regime and as his popularity declined, he tried to use the prevailing anti-Communist feeling to his own benefit. Such tactics could not, however, ensure either regime or state security in South Korea.
