A History of Korea by Kyung Moon Hwang

A History of Korea by Kyung Moon Hwang presents the history of Korea from ancient times to the present, written with attention to the Korean experience itself rather than to the peninsula as a stage for its neighbours.

The book follows Korea's political and social development, its cultural achievements, and its modern trials of colonisation, division and democratisation, drawing on Korean sources and perspectives. It offers a balanced narrative that serves both newcomers and readers who already know something of East Asia.

Key themes readers will explore:

• Korea's ancient and dynastic past
• Korean culture, society and political thought
• The impact of foreign intervention and colonisation
• Division, war and the two Koreas
• Democratisation and Korea's place in the modern world

Who should read this book: Students of Korean and East Asian history, general readers interested in Korea, and anyone wanting a Korea-centred account of the peninsula's past.
