First sentence: North Korea, often known as the "hermit kingdom," is a strange, secretive, dangerous, and deeply troubled small country.
Description: "In Crisis on the Korean Peninsula, foreign policy scholars and opinion leaders Michael O'Hanlon and Mike Mochizuki introduce a broad and ambitious program designed to answer - once and for all - the stubborn North Korean question. Detailing a "grand bargain" by which the United States and its allies could defuse North Korea's military threat without resorting to Iraq-style war, this examination outlines a step-by-step process that would: address the nuclear weapons issue that so clouds North Korea's present and future global status and northeast Asia's security; reduce conventional military forces, begin to rebuild the nation's shattered economy, and solve its ongoing humanitarian crisis; and provide face-saving and nerve-calming security assurances to North Korea's embattled leaders, who show signs they might welcome such pledges."--BOOK JACKET.
