Cornerstone of the Nation

The Defense Industry and the Building of Modern Korea Under Park Chung Hee

Beschreibung

Cornerstone of the Nation is the first historical account of the complex alliance of forces that catapulted South Korea's modernization under Park Chung Hee. Kwon makes the case that arms development may be the most durable and yet least acknowledged factor behind the country's rise to economic prominence in the late twentieth century.
