Charts the incredible rise of South Korea, from colonisation and
civil war to today’s thriving nation. South Korea has a
remarkable history. Born from the ashes of imperial domination,
partition and a devastating war, back in the 1950s there were real
doubts about its survival as an independent state. Yet South Korea
endures: today it is a boisterous democracy, a vibrant market
economy, a tech powerhouse, and home to the coolest of cultures. In
just seventy years, this society has grown from a shrimp into a
whale. What explains this extraordinary transformation? For some,
it was individual South Koreans who fought to change their country,
and still strive to shape it. For others, it was forward-looking
political and business leaders with a vision. Either way, it’s
clear that this is the story of a people who dreamt big, and whose
dreams came true. Shrimp to Whale is a lively history of South
Korea, from its millennia-old roots, through the division of the
Peninsula, dictatorship and economic growth, to today’s global
powerhouse.
