Abstract:
The Koreas delivers border-to-border coverage of North and South Korea, with chapters dedicated to history and geography, social and cultural customs, and economics and politics. With Russia and China as their neighbors to the north and 37,000 U.S. troops permanently stationed in the south, and with a history of occupation by powers like China, Mongolia, Japan, the Soviet Union, and the United States, Koreans have grown accustomed to living at the epicenter of world conflict.
