This book discusses the history of North and South Korea, and all of the stark differences between the two nations and the people residing in them. This book was a dollar at my local used book store, and I bought it simply to learn some generalized information about Korea. I bought this as well as a few other books from people who had left North Korea. I found this book to be very informative. It gave some really good historical facts, as well as good political information outlining the relationships between the two countries.
