4.0 out of 5 stars Track 2 and Cooperation are good for nuclear starangers
Bias on the part of American policy-makers affected U.S. nuclear diplomacy toward North Korea. If the U.S. would not have maintained such a bias, negotiations between the U.S. and North Korea would not have been as difficult. That is the author`s main point, but what he overlooks is not an analysis of why U.S. policy-makers, from the begining of Korean War and beyond,...

2.0 out of 5 stars North Korea is not Canada

2.0 out of 5 stars North Korea is not Canada, October 25, 2000
This review is from: Disarming Strangers (Paperback)
There are some good aspects of this book analysing the ins and outs (mostly outs) of United States policy toward North Korea and its nuclear program. But the book has one enormous drawback: it treats everything that the United States and its allies did with suspicion, while giving North Korea every benefit of the doubt. I did not understand the expression "blame America first" until I read this book. There is nothing in this book about North Korean terrorism or attacks on the South Korean Blue House. Mr. Sigal treats North Korea as if it were Canada. It is not. His good points would come through better if he was not so one-sided.

Bias on the part of American policy-makers affected U.S. nuclear diplomacy toward North Korea. If the U.S. would not have maintained such a bias, negotiations between the U.S. and North Korea would not have been as difficult. That is the author`s main point, but what he overlooks is not an analysis of why U.S. policy-makers, from the begining of Korean War and beyond, maintained a bias, This drawback notwithstanding, the book contains many interviews and documents, and is, therefore, a historically important study.
