Concise and to the point
10 Feb 2006
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This is a concise and well written modern chronicle of North Korea. There are very few resources available on this "mysterious" country. I found the book to be engrossing, concise and most informative.
The Complete Idiot's Guide to North Korea
3 July 2010
Format:Paperback
When I picked up this book out of the bargain bin at the bookstore, I was not expecting much more than mediocre nighttime reading. I was pleasantly surprised to find a well-written, nearly comprehensive book on an obscure and mysterious country.
Authors Dr. Kenneth Quinones and Joseph Tragert stick to the standard format for Idiot's Guide books. There are boxes labeled either Korean Concept, Fact, and Increase Your North Korea IQ interwoven throughout the text that give you interesting tidbits of knowledge. Also, there are interesting personal recollections boxes, where the authors share first-hand insights and experiences with the reader.
I gained new perspectives on the history, current political system, and foreign relations of North Korea, a complex and potentially dangerous threat to the U.S, China, and Japan. The book is informative, factual, and non-biased. I recommend this book to anyone who desires a wide, jargon-free explanation of North Korea's past, present, and future.

A great, overall view of North Korea
18 Nov 2008
Format:Mass Market Paperback
When my son chose to do a report on North Korea, we had to scramble for resources. Not a lot is known about the country. This book provided a broad general overview of just about all aspects of the country, society and people. It wasn't as in depth in some areas, but excellent overall.
