4.9/5 (18289 ratings)

Description:Of all the countries in the world, none comes close to being as poorly known as the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), or more simply North Korea. Most of the time, it is ignored. When it is not, the response is usually annoyance, anger, or alarm, depending on the action it has taken. Yet, even then, it is clear that the outside world does not know just whom it is dealing with or exactly what is going on there. The descriptions are vague, consist more of rumor than hard fact, and sadly enough, reflect North Korean propaganda by referring only to one per- son as if there were no one else there. Yet, North Korea is a big country—it has a relatively large population—and while its positive contribution to the international community is hardly worth mentioning, its negative potential cannot be overlooked.It is therefore useful to know a bit more about the DPRK than can be found in the press or on TV: First, it’s useful to know about a few people who either still exercise or once exercised important functions; then, about a few places, cities, provinces, rivers, and mountains to make North Korea seem more real; then, about its political system and economy; then, about its ideology (Juche), which covers every aspect of life; and finally, about the history of the past half century, which contains more twists and turns than one would expect and may just give us a clue to where the country will head next. The Historical Dictionary of DPR Korea provides all of this information, although inevitably more sparsely than such information is presented for most other countries. Sparse or not, however, this information is all the more precious given the prevailing lack of knowledge.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
