OverviewNorth Korea’s development of nuclear weapons raises fears of nuclear war on the peninsula and the specter of terrorists gaining access to weapons of mass destruction. It also represents a dangerous and disturbing breakdown in U.S. foreign policy. This hard-hitting and insightful book, written by a former Bush administration insider, offers a stinging critique of the Bush administration’s manner and policy in dealing with North Korea. More hopefully, it suggests what can be learned from missed opportunities. Full Product DetailsAuthor: Charles L.

Goodby, Special Representative of the President for Nuclear Security and Dismantlement, 1995-96 In this valuable insider account of the Bush administration's tumultuous dealings with the Korean Peninsula, Pritchard recounts the policy struggles and turning points that ran from President George W. Bush's decision to end the Clinton-era engagement of North Korea to the rise of axis of evil thinking and the counterproliferation doctrine, to North Korea's missile and nuclear tests, to the saga of the six-party talks. --G. John Ikenberry, Foreign Affairs Failed Diplomacy is an invaluable insider's exposure of the way foreign policy is crafted in Washington, and will be welcomed by some as another attack on the nefarious dealings of the neocons, or hardliners as Pritchard calls them. --Jasper Becker, Times Literary Supplement A revealing account of the past half-decade of arduous U.S.-DPRK diplomacy over the North's nuclear weapons program... it will serve as a useful primary source for special Northeast Asian security affairs, presidential decision-making, and foreign policy. --Jason A.
