Description

Gain a rare perspective on North Korean history with this scholarly investigation into the development of the Korean People's Army. While many texts on this subject struggle with limited access to primary materials, this book provides a unique look at the foundations of the North Korean state. By drawing on North Korean documents and firsthand testimonies from North Korean veterans, the text explains how the Korean War and the military shaped the nation. It tracks the evolution of North Korea into a closed, militarized, and xenophobic garrison state. Readers will learn how these historical factors led the country to adopt the Juche (Self Reliance) ideology. This work is an essential resource for those studying military history, the Korean War, or the political development of the Cold War era.
