Description: "This invaluable encyclopedia explores all aspects of the conflict in Korea, principally from 1945 to the present. The A-to-Z entries, many of them illustrated, cover people, events, places, political parties, treaties and agreements, the origins of the conflict, and the involvement of the superpowers, China, and the United Nations. A substantial number of the entries deal with the Korean War itself, but many others focus on developments since the ceasefire of July 1953."--BOOK JACKET.

"Entries include the 1987 Korean Airlines bombing, allegedly by North Korean agents, and the 1996 and 1998 sightings of a North Korean submarine off the South Korean coast."--BOOK JACKET. "Of further use to readers are a chronology, maps, bibliography, and subject index."--BOOK JACKET.
