The South Korean warship Cheonan was sunk in mysterious
circumstances on March 26, 2010. The remarkable events that
followed are analyzed by Tim Beal and woven into a larger study of
the increasingly volatile relations between North and South Korea
and US concern about the rise of China. South Korea's stance
towards the North has hardened significantly since the new
conservative government came to power. Beal argues that the South
moved quickly to use the sinking of the Cheonan to put
international pressure on the North, even before the cause of the
sinking had been established. The United States followed suit by
attempting to pressure China into condemning North Korea. The media
reports at the time presented an open and shut case of unprovoked
North Korean aggression, but the evidence points towards the
accidental triggering of a South Korean mine as the cause and South
Korean fabrication to incriminate the North. With the South bent on
forcing the fall of the North's regime with US help and China
unlikely to stand idly by, this book offers an essential guide to
the key factors behind the crisis and possible solutions.
