From Library Journal
Georgetown professor Macdonald's survey of Korean history, society, culture, international relations, politics, economics, and the reunification question is comprehensive and up-to-dateand just in time for the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul. But at times, it is too much survey and too little substance (e.g., the history of the decades of Japanese occupation and the Korean War is particularly weak). Also, in support of the author's optimistic outlook on prospects for reunification, his minimizing of the differences between North and South Korea is overdone. Most appropriate as a text or supplementary reader for an undergraduate survey course. Kenneth W. Berger, Duke Univ. Lib., Durham,
