This review is from: Imperialism Resistance and Reform in Late Nineteenth Century Korea: Enlightenment and the Independence Club (Korea Research Monograph) (Paperback)

Here are excerpts from Michael Robinson's review: "Vipan Chandra's work is the first detailed treatment of the rise and fall of an important political organization whose experience provides insights into the ideological and institutional barriers to reform and the limits of nationalism in the late Choson period....[It] also provides a lucid summary of the political history of the 1880-1900 period....This book will be necessary reading in any course on modern Korea and will take its place as a standard work on the rise and fall of the Independence Club."
