Review

"In the late 1980s, author Simon Winchester set out on foot to discover the Republic of Korea - from its southern tip to the North Korean border - in order to set the record straight about this enigmatic and elusive land." "Fascinating for its presentation of historical and geographic detail, Korea is a book that actually defines a nation and its people. Winchester captures and engages characters in true stories that provide us with a treasury of informed insight on the culture, language, history, and politics of this little-known corner of Asia."--Jacket
