Cumings brings a lively narrative voice to history, making it an engaging and at times even compelling read. Being a "modern" history, most of the focus is on the 19th and 20th centuries, and the early section highlights important features of the peninsula's changes. It's too slim a volume to provide the rich cultural foundation of history that shaped the decisions and thinking that led to the major upheavals of the modern time.

Referencias a esta obra en fuentes externas. Wikipedia en inglés (18)Bruce Cumings's rich narrative focuses on Korea's fractured, shattered, twentieth-century history. In 1910 Korea lost its centuries-old independence, and it remained an exploited colony of Japan until 1945. Then came national division, political turmoil, a devastating war, and the death and dislocation of millions, all of which left Korea still divided and in desperate poverty. Its recovery and spectacular growth over the next generation is one of this century's most remarkable achievements. Cumings provides a compelling account of Korea's travails and triumphs in the modern period. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
