Ever since Korea was first divided at the end of World War II, the tension between its northern and southern halves has riveted --- and threatened to embroil --- the rest of the world. In this landmark history, now thoroughly revised and updated in conjunction with Korea expert Robert Carlin, veteran journalist Don Oberdorfer grippingly describes how a historically homogenous people became locked in a perpetual struggle for supremacy --- and how they might yet be reconciled.
