In addition to the conference transcript, the book includes a 100-page appendix of newly obtained and translated East German, Russian, Czech, and U.S. documents on the 1968 Blue House raid, the seizure of the USS Pueblo, and the 1969 shootdown of the unarmed EC 121 spy plane.
Notes: "This transcript is the first from a series of critical oral history conferences jointly hosted by the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars' North Korea International Documentation Project and the University of North Korean Studies. The first conference was held on 8-9 September 2008 in Washington"--Acknowledgements.
