Summary: innocents abroad
Review: It has been nearly a decade since the first foreign NGO was permitted to begin famine relief operations in the DPRK. Since then the NGOs have had not only a significant humanitarian impact but a political one as well. This timely volume is filled with penetrating insights into the complex interplay between the DPRK, the NGOs, and the NGOs' home governments, and is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the Korean peninsula today.
