Korea Context

Good contextual material on the decades-long conflict engulfing the Korean peninsula is quite rare even in alternative and independent sources in North America, but given the inclusion of North Korea in Dubya's fantasy of an "axis of evil" and the persistent American role in the conflict, it is important stuff to know. This is a very interesting article in the form of a review by an academic named Bruce Cumings of two recent books on North Korea. (Found via Feral Scholar.)
