4.0

'Talking to North Korea' is that rarest of things: a helpful, sensible, balanced, interesting and informative book about North Korea, by a credible author. Glyn Ford is a former Labour MEP and expert in international relations. He has visited Pyongyang over a hundred times and has access to the highest levels of the government there, and has toured the entire country. He is therefore uniquely well placed to explain and contextualise North Korean politics, and to give suggestions as to how to move the peace process forward. Essential reading, and a good update to the similar (but earlier) 'Korean Endgame', by recently-deceased veteran diplomat Selig Harrison.
