""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
