English language, particularly on her history and culture, for young
students and general readers. Author Description: The last Andrew C. Nahm was born and raised in Korea and went to the United States for his academic degrees of B.A., M.A. and Ph.D. in Asian history.

 |
by
Andrew C. Nahm 391 pp. 14 * 21.5 cm. 16 maps and 87 photos. hardcover. ISBN : 5000180191 Sales Price $16.49 |
| The purpose of this book is to present the history and culture of Korea to meet the needs of the general reader. While providing essential historical and cultural background of the Korean people, emphasis is given to the process of transformation of the ancient Korean society into an aristocratic/feudalistic state first, and then into a modern nation. Unlike other Korean history books, this includes various aspects of radical changes that took place under the Communist rule after 1945 in the northern half of Korea. | |
