North Korea Takes On the World.
Gordon Chang lived and worked in China for almost 20 years. His articles on China have been published in The New York Times, The Asian Wall St. Journal, the International Herald Tribune, and the South China Morning Post. His first book, The Coming Collapse of China was published by Century in 2002.
"In his timely book, Gordon G. Chang turns the spotlight back onto
the world's worst regime and most egregious state proliferator of
nuclear weapons. As Chang, a longtime Asia hand and accomplished
writer, correctly notes, the world in general and the United States
in particular are too inclined to forget about this dangerous
region in their constant focus on Iraq and al Qaeda... His prose is
lively and crisp, making this book an easy read on a difficult
subject... Accessible and up-to-date."
*Washington Post*
"[Chang] has sewn together this tale of diplomatic mismanagement in
a compelling... account of how the greatest superpower in the world
has been repeatedly out-manoeuvred by a tiny country that should
have collapsed years ago."
*New York Times*
"Passionately polemic... Chang's apocalyptic chapters diagnose and
forecast the far-reaching, destablising effects of ongoing economic
crisis on Chinese society and politics"
*Observer*
"A tour de force not to be missed"
*Willy Wo-Lap, Senior China Analyst at CNN's Hong Kong office*
"Damning data and persuasive arguments that should set some
Communist knees a-knocking"
*Kirkus Reviews*
