Reviews

""With North Korea sending soldiers to support Russia and with tensions on the Korean Peninsula at a new high, the search is on for fresh ways to deal with the hermit kingdom. Engaging North Korea is essential reading for diplomats and security specialists, especially those handling Northeast Asia and Russia’s war on Ukraine."" Robert Wihtol, adjunct faculty member at the Asian Institute of Management, realcleardefense.com
