Review: "As one of the nations comprising George W. Bush's 'axis of evil' and a suspected nuclear power in an already tense region, North Korea has been the subject of intense attention recently. Now for the first time there is a comprehensive compendium of political and economic developments in the country from 1989 - when the communist world began to change irrevocably - to the present. This volume includes sections on issues such as the command economy, agriculture, relations with major powers, refugees and defectors, and nuclear weapons. Developments are arranged chronologically by sector, and ample background and summary material is presented in order to place recent developments in the proper historical context."--BOOK JACKET.
