First sentence: In the Korean War, almost half a million Americans, South Koreans, and other allied soldiers lost their lives in one of history's noblest replies to totalitarian aggression.
Description: Using previously unpublished accounts, Over the Line brings together for the first time the full record of North Korea's negotiations, describes motives and objectives, and assesses negotiating tactics. Chuck Downs draws important conclusions from that nation's manipulation of international talks and cautions policymakers to be alert to the regime's tactics. As a guide to negotiating with North Korea, Over the Line will provide policymakers with important background on how to deal with the rogue regime.
