Pyongyang has been determined to develop a credible nuclear deterrent ever since. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Korean War was the first of America's unsuccessful military interventions post-World War II and its first modern conflict with China. It established the pattern for the next sixty years and marked the true beginning of the American century. With compassion for the people of the North and South, and understanding for the soldiers caught between the bitter winter and an implacable enemy, Michael Pembroke tells the absorbing story of Korea. It is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand why the Korean peninsula has become the nuclear flashpoint it is today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Pembroke\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1786076616\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781786076618\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e ONEWorld Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/14\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.00w x 1.20d","brand":"Michael Pembroke","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43991132111103,"sku":"9781786076618","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7a2894c8-27ef-4714-8e32-7de28ea65326.jpg?v=1683308618","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/korea-michael-pembroke-9781786076618","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
