Young Ran Kim

The author Young Ran Kim was born in Korea. She grew up in South Korea during the politically chaotic post WWII period and her family survived through the most traumatic and inhumane experience. She came to the U.S. for academic pursuit in science. She now holds a PhD in Cell Biology and Anatomy, a MS in Biochemistry, a MS in Anatomy and a BS in Chemistry. She has published 22 scientific articles in peer-reviewed journals and authored and/or coauthored 33 technical patents issued in the US, Europe and Japan. But she considers delivering this book the most important task in her life.

The goal of this book is to reveal the historical consequences of miscalculated and short-sighted actions by the post WWII US leaders. Accurate historical facts are good reference points for present and future world leaders, especially the leaders of the United States, to develop better judgments and implement wiser long-term sustainable policies to resolve complicated geopolitical problems. All of us who live on this planet need a more peaceful world -indeed a new paradigm - where we can coexist, without slaughtering each other, pursuing our dreams and hopes of a God-given life, free of the constant threat of war and the nuclear destruction of civilization itself.
