North Korea has faced U.S.-led hostility and isolation for 70 years, relentless sanctions, and now impulsive threats of nuclear annihilation. Sharat G. Lin traveled to North Korea to see firsthand what the country is really like. He presents an eye-opening picture of a country few Americans have ever seen, and finds a viable road to peace and reunification for Korea that calls for a drastic change in U.S. policy.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Lin is a research fellow and former president of the San Jose Peace and Justice Center.
