A major new history of North and South Korea, from the late
nineteenth century to the present day  Korea has a long,
riveting history—it is also a divided nation. South Korea is a
vibrant democracy, the tenth largest economy, and is home to a
world-renowned culture. North Korea is ruled by the most
authoritarian regime in the world, a poor country in a rich region,
and is best known for the cult of personality surrounding the
ruling Kim family. But both Koreas share a unique common history.
 Victor Cha and Ramon Pacheco Pardo draw on decades of
research to explore the history of modern Korea, from the late
nineteenth century, Japanese occupation, and Cold War division to
the present day. A small country caught amongst the world’s
largest powers—including China, Japan, Russia, and the United
States—Korea’s fate has been closely connected to its geography
and the strength of its leadership and society. This comprehensive
history sheds light on the evolving identities of the two Koreas,
explaining the sharp differences between North and South, and
prospects for unification.
