Required reading for those who deal with North Korea,
This review is from: Over the Line : North Korea's Negotiating Strategy (Hardcover)
I deal with North Koreans on a regular basis, and Chuck Downs's book should be required for all who deal with North Korea, or for that matter South Korea. Whether in the public or private sphere, this is an important book and should be read by anyone who negotiates on behalf of the United States. Mr. Downs has written a practical book with historical anecdotes and penetrating insights. Bravo!

If you know something about Korea it would be interesting,
By A Customer
This review is from: Over the Line: North Korea's Negotiating Strategy (Paperback)
I would like to have either more on the actual negotiating or more on the history but the book seems to jump back and forwards between the two leaving me the reader a bit confused. So someone like myself who knows little about US and North Korea relations got little from this book. Disappointingly it does not include that much about how other goverments (in particular South Korea) reacted and played in these talks. However if you want to know about how the North Korean goverment have behaved with the US this is a very good book. I was stunned to read the sort of documents the US has had to sign in dealing with the North Koreans. It shows the limitation that the US faces even in a region that it is the major power.
