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.
