Overview

This book discusses the twin crisis now afflicting U.S. policy in East Asia. One crisis is the re-emergence of North Korea's nuclear-weapons program and the dangers it poses. The other crisis is the growing anti-American sentiments in South Korea. The book also questions whether Washington's East Asia security strategy makes sense any longer given the possibility of a nuclear-armed North Korea and the fraying ties between the United States and South Korea. The prospect of U.S. troops stationed in South Korea becoming nuclear hostages makes it imperative to reconsider U.S. policy on the Korean peninsular and throughout East Asia.
