Rezensionen

"To understand North Korea you have to appreciate how it became one of the world's most militarized countries in the world? Fyodor Tertitskiy pries open the black box with this authoritative, readable account of the creation of the North Korean army from Soviet times to the present, for the first time detailing how North Korean soldiers --- some five percent of the country's population-- are recruited, how they live and their place in the society as a whole. I learned so much I didn't know about North Korea."

Barbara Demick, Author of 'Nothing to Envy: Ordinary lives in North Korea'

"This rigorously researched analysis will quickly become the standard work of reference on the North Korean military. Both scholars and practitioners will gain from it."

Steven Metz, Professor, US Army War College
