For several years he worked with the Daily Mail as a traveling correspondent in the Far East. one of the few Western correspondents that wrote about the Korean resistance against Japan during the Japanese Rule. The work presented here is the display of his braveness and love for truth. To create this account of the war, MacKenzie had to escape into the interior of the Korean opposition, although it was extremely dangerous.

The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea) joined the rank of nuclear powers in October 2006 after exploding its first nuclear device. The test was not fully successful yet it unequivocally demonstrated North Korea's nuclear weapons capability. North Korea under the leadership of Kim Jong-il remains as unpredictable and mysterious as ever. This comprehensive study brings together leading scholars in the field to examine the country's current foreign policy under Kim Jong-il as well as its bilateral relations with the USA, China, Russia, Japan and South Korea.
