Divided Korea

Více o knize

The book explores the 2002 crisis triggered by North Korea's disclosure of its secret nuclear weapons program and withdrawal from the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty. It examines the geopolitical tensions following George W. Bush's "axis of evil" declaration and the U.S. administration's consideration of a preemptive nuclear strike. The narrative highlights the rapid decline in relations on the Korean peninsula, contrasting the current hostility with the previous historic summit between North and South Korean leaders just two years prior.
