Bermudez's second book on the subject brings readers up to date on the latest numbers, capabilities, and operations of the Korean People's Army special purpose forces. Using interviews with defectors and observations by various intelligence agencies, he covers everything from the bureaucratic organization of the forces to what individual soldiers in different types of units are likely to be carrying. He also deals with military assistance operations and terrorist activities and includes information on the infamous tunnels underneath the DMZ. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great study on the DPRK Special Forces

Great study on the history and organization of the DPRK Special Forces. Its also one of the VERY few monographs on the topic, and even though it dates back to 1998, its also one of the most recent. A must have, for those studying the military sciences of the Pacific Rim....

4.0 out of 5 stars Good overview
Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2006
This is a very good overview of the North Korean special forces, and is an essential building block for anyone interested in the subject. Drawn mostly from Foreign Broadcast Infornation Service translated documents, it does suffer from a minor, but disturbing, error. My 1998 edition refers to Kim Il-sung's guerrilla clique as the "Kaspen Group", after their area of operations along the North Korean/Manchurian border. The actual place name is "Gapsan" or "Kapsan", depending upon the romanization system, so the clique is the Gapsan or Kapsan group. This error is repeated throughout the book. I would have also liked an explanation as to why North Koreans adopted the term "sniper" for their SF specific units. While everyone agrees that it is an honorific dating back to Kim Il-sung's Soviet 88th Sniper Brigade, the actual Soviet designation for that unit was 88th "Strelnaya" Bde, which had likewise been translated as the 88th Independent Infantry Brigade. I am told that the Soviet term "Strelnaya" (shooter) was used for all Soviet Infantry formations. My notes give the NK term as "Jeo Gyeok", which refers to a team of rifle toting snipers.

5.0 out of 5 stars about it
Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 1999
Talk about tough... The NKSF are probably the best in the world. Although straight on comparison is impossible, they seem to be the best. The encounters with other special forces in 1953 doesn't qualify an objective comparison considering that in 1953 North Korea was very unorganized socially and militarily. Also they were in horrible economical shape with most of it's people starving. Things are kind of different now. Their military traing and organization is upgraded and soldiers are better fed. That would make a tremendous difference. Anyways, the book's great.
