Everlasting Flower - A History of Korea

A fascinating story of how Korea evolved over two millennia to become the economic and cultural powerhouse it is today.

Everlasting Flower represents a step forward in the historiography of modern Korea. . . . While it gives a good deal of attention to earlier periods, it establishes their relationship to the emergence of modern Korea in a clear and understandable way. The author has managed to maintain a consistent level of depth and detail from beginning to end, giving the text  a most valuable perspective. It succeeds as a history text for classroom use, as a general read for the armchair historian, and as a thoughtful review for the specialist.
