Modern Korean history is an important subject as Korea is at a crossroads. On one side is a peaceful unification with North Korea being absorbed into South Korea, a democratic economic power. On the other side is a diametrically divided country, a country living under the constant threat of nuclear bombs from communist North Korea under a family dictatorship into its third generation. The author, having lived in both Korea and the U.S., presents an objective and panoramic view of history through the life of Park Chung-hee (1917-1979), the industrial president who eliminated chronic poverty. The book is essential reading for Korean immigrants, expatriates and their children numbering eight million, and world citizens eager to learn the Miracle on the Han River and the New Community Movement President Park ushered in in Korea for a better life and more peaceful world.
