In this first extensive English-language study of any of the major nineteenth-century rebellions in Korea, Kim argues that it was neither desperate peasants nor ambitious new economic forces but rather traditional local elites who plotted and carried out the rebellion of 1812.--Sun Joo Kim is associate professor of Korean history at Harvard University
