In his "immensely illuminating and accessible history" ("Kirkus Reviews"), Bruce Cumings delivers a memorable narrative of Korea's fractured modern history, focusing specifically on the country's long 20th century--a period of colonial exploitation by Japan, war, and national division. "The single best book anyone today can read on Korea".--Chalmers Johnson. Excerpted in "Atlantic Monthly". Photos.
