Produktbeschreibung

Since this famous study first appeared in 1986 a wealth of new scholarship has been stimulated by the new material made available by the fall of the Soviet Union and the partial release of archives in China. To take account of these new perspectives xxx; which particularly affect the roles of the Soviet Union, China and Korea itself xxx; Dr Lowe has substantially rewritten and expanded his text.
