Review
With extensive knowledge and shrewd insights, Adrian Buzo has written a lucid and highly informative account of political dynamics on Korean peninsula from the end of the 19th century to the present. Unlike most other books on Korea, Buzo tries to give as balanced a coverage of North and South Koreas as possible and takes the competitive north-south relationships as an organizing theme of his historical narrative. A welcome addition to the still skimpy literature on Korean society and a highly recommendable text for courses on Korea and on contemporary East Asia. Hagen Koo, University of Hawaii.
In elegant yet easily readable language, Adrian Buzo has set forth the saga of modern Korea - North and South - in a manner that should have a wide appeal. Students, instructors, and specialists as well will garner much food for thought from this extraordinarily comprehensive work. Professor Robert A Scalapino, University of California, Berkeley.
