These deeply personal stories of two Western women reveal the almost unimaginable transformation of Korea from a culturally and politically united peninsula at the end of the nineteenth century into today's dangerously divided land. These two women's experiences bracket the twentieth century, a dark time in Korean history, when the peninsula was occupied by Japan, divided into North and South, and wracked by internal war-becoming an unwilling pawn of Cold-War superpowers. Despite everything, South Korea has emerged as an international economic success story, whereas North Korea has become a totalitarian ideological nightmare in which leaders spew the rhetoric of aggression and develop nuclear weapons. What would it take to heal this political schizophrenia that endangers our entire world?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abbott Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47575065362583,"sku":"9781458210388","price":1287.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781458210388.webp?v=1774897076","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/korea-are-you-at-peace-tales-of-two-women-travelers-in-a-troubled-land-9781458210388","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
