Taik-Young Hamm

Arming the Two Koreas (eBook, ePUB)

State, Capital and Military Power

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

North Korea has traditionally been seen as militarily superior to South Korea in the long feud between the two nations. This brilliantly argued book taps into a great deal of news interest in North Korea at the moment in the wake of recent hostility against Japan. Hamm controversially shows that the received idea of Koreas military strength is partly a myth created by South Korea to justify a huge programme of rearmament.
