Publisher's Synopsis
The Korea Knot is a highly readable account of the Korean conflict--the events that led up to it, its international repercussions, and its possible future effects. Beginning with a brief account of the troubled historical past of this small country, Berger sets the stage for Korea's catastrophic hour resulting from World War II--the division of a once united-nation into two separate countries. It is this division, he maintains, that holds the key to the tragedy of Korea.
