"热情、诙谐、引人入胜。颇像韩国本身。"--尼古拉斯-D-克里斯托夫，《纽约时报》书评

韩国经历了一个 "支离破碎的20世纪"，这本更新版将布鲁斯-库明斯的领先现代史带到了现在。

这个小国在帝国时代黯然失色，在冷战期间与大国挤在一起，在朝鲜战争中被分裂和毁灭，最近看到了统一的第一个真正的迹象。

但是，积极的前进步伐被令人沮丧的后退步伐所抑制。

20世纪90年代末，韩国度过了自朝鲜战争以来最严重的经济危机，迫使其成功地进行了政治经济结构调整。

在经历了洪水、干旱和造成数百万人死亡的饥荒之后，朝鲜被小布什政府称为 "邪恶轴心 "的一部分，并再次发出核威胁。

在双方看来，朝鲜似乎准备将其分裂的存在延续到新世纪，并对世界其他地区产生潜在影响。25 插图

 Korea's Place in the Sun: A Modern History

"Passionate, cantankerous, and fascinating. Rather like Korea itself."--Nicholas D. Kristof, New York Times Book Review

Korea has endured a "fractured, shattered twentieth century," and this updated edition brings Bruce Cumings's leading history of the modern era into the present. The small country, overshadowed in the imperial era, crammed against great powers during the Cold War, and divided and decimated by the Korean War, has recently seen the first real hints of reunification. But positive movements forward are tempered by frustrating steps backward. In the late 1990s South Korea survived its most severe economic crisis since the Korean War, forcing a successful restructuring of its political economy. Suffering through floods, droughts, and a famine that cost the lives of millions of people, North Korea has been labeled part of an "axis of evil" by the George W. Bush administration and has renewed its nuclear threats. On both sides Korea seems poised to continue its fractured existence on into the new century, with potential ramifications for the rest of the world. 25 illustrations
