North Korea Seen Through Books, and the Unification of the Korean Peninsula

North Korea Seen Through Books, and the Unification of the Korean Peninsula   2019.08.05   On the last day of June this year, a historic event happened in the border village of Panmunjom straddling the two Koreas when the leaders of the United States and North Korea met for the first time. Just a mere 62 km away from Seoul, this location was where the ceasefire armistice was signed in July 1953 to put a stop to the Korean War that had raged for three years between North and South Korea.
