Overview: Contemporary North and South Korea are nations of radical contrasts: one
a bellicose totalitarian state with a failing economy; the other a peaceful democracy
with a strong economy. Yet their people share a common history that extends back more
than 3,000 years. In this comprehensive new history of Korea from the prehistoric
era to the present day, Jinwung Kim recounts the rich and fascinating story of the
political, social, cultural, economic, and diplomatic developments in Korea's long
march to the present. He provides a detailed account of the origins of the Korean
people and language and the founding of the first walled-town states, along with the
advanced civilization that existed in the ancient land of "Unified Silla." Clarifying
the often complex history of the Three Kingdoms Period, Kim chronicles the five-century
long history of the Choson dynasty, which left a deep impression on Korean culture.
From the beginning, China has loomed large in the history of Korea, from the earliest
times when the tribes that would eventually make up the Korean nation roamed the vast
plains of Manchuria and against whom Korea would soon define itself. Japan, too, has
played an important role in Korean history, particularly in the 20th century; Kim
tells this story as well, including the conflicts that led to the current divided
state. The first detailed overview of Korean history in nearly a quarter century,
this volume will enlighten a new generation of students eager to understand this contested
region of Asia
