The definitive account of North Korea - its veiled past and
uncertain future - from former White House adviser and Korea expert
Victor Cha 'We killed Americans. We are killing Americans. We will
kill Americans.' North Korean schoolchildren conjugating verbs How
did North Korea become The Impossible State, where citizens found
humming South Korean pop songs risk being sent to a gulag, and yet
a starving populace clings fiercely to its Dear Leader Kim Jong-un?
What does the future hold for a regime with terrifying nuclear
ambitions and an endless war with its southern counterpart? Former
White House adviser and Director of Asian Studies at Georgetown
University, Victor Cha, pulls back the curtain on the world's most
isolated country to provide this unprecedented and timely insight
into North Korea's history, present and future. In the era of the
Trump administration and with South Korean relations seemingly on
the brink of great change, this authoritative account of the
country interweaved with exclusive personal anecdotes offers
much-needed answers in an increasingly uncertain political climate.
Indeed, Cha warns of a future North Korea for which the Western
world may be woefully unprepared. Extensive and fast-paced, The
Impossible State is an extraordinarily edifying portrait of the
society, economy and foreign policy of the most enigmatic
nation-state. 'Engrossing... It offers perhaps the best recent
one-volume account of North Korea's history, economics and foreign
relations' The Economist
