Reviews
Any collection which includes details on Korean history will find essential to the fold the addition of A Troubled Peace: U.S. Policy and the Two Koreas.
Lee provides an excellent study of foreign policy-making in a region vital to American interests... This volume will serve as a valuable resource for scholars of American foreign policy and contemporary Korean history.
One of the best two or three books on Korea's international relations in the English language and should be of great interest to a wide range of scholars and general readers.
A valuable study.
