"""This is a book filled with thought provoking analysis and policy-relevant assessments. Hutchinson crafts a work that will be must reading for policy makers, scholars, and anyone who has an interest in understanding Pyongyang’s geopolitical goals and actions.” Bruce E. Bechtol, Jr., Professor of Political Science, Angelo State University, USA “George A. Hutchinson's extraordinary study provides readers with a deep and exacting account of the North Korean regime's relentless quest for the atomic weaponry, and helps us make sense of the motivations and calculations behind the Kim dynasty's dogged, three-generation pursuit of nuclear status. Like them or not, scholars and policymakers will ignore his conclusions at their own peril.” Nicholas Eberstadt, Henry Wendt Chair in Political Economy, American Enterprise Institute (AEI), USA"
