This review is from: North Korea: Ideology, Politics, Economy (Textbook Binding)
I met Dr. Park on Air Koryo leaving Pyongyang in May '97 after my 10th trip there. Reading this compilation has been a delightful continuation of that meeting. His insights to the philosophical foundation of Juche, the Kimilsungist system of political thought, are particularly useful and his no-bones-about-it discussion of the nuclear weapons program is eerily unsettling. All of the authors speak Korean and have visited North Korea, lending an authenticity I have found to be rare
