Requests:  0 Summary:  "North Korea is poised at the crossroads of history. Which direction will its leader take? The answer concerns the whole world. Throughout the world, oppressive regimes are being uprooted and replaced by budding democracies, but one exception remains: The People's Republic of North Korea. The Kim family has clung to power for three generations by silencing dissidents, ruling with an iron fist, and holding its neighbors hostage with threats of war. Under the leadership of Kim Jong Un, North Korea has come closer than ever to creating a viable nuclear arsenal, but widespread famine and growing resistance are weaking his regime's stability. In The Hermit King, Asian geopolitical expert Chung Min Lee tells the story of the rise of the Kim Dynasty and its atrocities, motivations, and diplomatic goals. He also discusses the possible outcomes of its aggressive standoff with the world superpowers. Kim Jong Un is not a crazed "Rocket Man" or a bumbling despot; he has been groomed since birth to take control of his country and stay in power at all costs. He is now at a fateful crossroads. Will he make good on decades of threats, liberalize North Korea and gain international legitimacy, or watch his regime crumble around him? Lee analyzes the likelihood and consequences of each of these possibilities, cautioning that in the end, a humanitarian crisis in the region is all but unavoidable. The Hermit King is a thoughtful and compelling look at the most complicated diplomatic situation on Earth"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hanapepe Public Library Adult Nonfiction 951.93 Le Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 951.93 Le Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 951.93 Lee Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 951.93 Le Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 951.93 Le Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lanai P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 951.93 Le Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 951.93 Le Checked In Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Biography B Kim Le withdrawn Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Nonfiction 951.93 Le Checked In Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 951.93 Le Checked In Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
