Critics Review
“Korea has been a nation divided into vastly different social systems and “perpetually at war” with itself. Seth’s new book Korea at War attempts to describe and explain this geopolitical transformation.” —The Asian Review of Books
“The book is about much more than just the war itself, as Seth looks at Korea’s pre- and post-war history, and how South Korea is unique in charting its own development while still, technically, in a state of war.” —The Asian Review of Books Podcast with Michael J Seth, author of Korea at War
