Witness to Transformation - Refugee Insights into North Korea

On the basis of surveys of often traumatized North Korean refugees in South Korea and China, Haggard (international relations and Pacific studies, U. of California, San Diego) and Noland (East-West Center)--affiliates with the Peterson Institute, Washington, DC, document their plight and attitudes toward that repressive regime's recent political and socioeconomic situation. The authors discuss international refugee and engagement polices. The book includes a map, data tables, and methodological notes. Annotation 2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
