Troubled Tiger
No Customer Reviews
Troubled Tiger mixes an anecdotal, readable account of the dramatic rise of the Koren economy with an in-depth analysis of the economic choices Korea faced and made under former presidents and ex-generals Park Chung Hee, Chun Doo Hwan, and Roh Tae woo and of the tremendous costs of that growth. It also details the huge changes that have been roiling the Korean economy with the emergence of a more democratic government under President Kim Young Sam. ?During my time in Seoul, I found Mark Clifford to be one of the most astute observers of the scene in Korea. His book Troubled Tiger weaves together in a compelling way the complex skein of economic, political amd military forces that have combined to produce today's Korea. The importance of Korea, to Asia and to the United States, is not well understood. Clifford's book is thus important, as well as interesting reading. I strongly recommend it to all with an interest in Korea and the Northeast Asian region.? Donald P Gregg, US Ambassador to Seoul, 1989-1993
