Critics Review
“An up-close, insightful portrait… . The Impossible State is a clearheaded, bold examination of North Korea and its future.” – Washington Post
“Cha demonstrates an intimate familiarity with the regime’s contradictions… . The thesis is clear: the world’s most closed-off state needs to open up to survive, but breaking its hermetic seal may well precipitate its demise.” – The New Yorker
“A meaty, fast-paced portrait of North Korean society, economy, politics, and foreign policy by an expert who has studied the regime as a scholar and interacted with its officials.” – Foreign Affairs
