Praise for North Korea: A Guide to Economic and Political Developments (also published by Routledge): Jeffries' ends his book in late 2005 ... Jeffries' book is an invaluable resource to any scholar of North Korea's political, diplomatic and economic development after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Although it does not attempt to provide answers as to why events occurred as they did, it will be an indispensable source for any attempt to do so. - Christopher Griffin, Pacific Affairs
