- 

Korea remains at war with itself, split straight across the middle by the 38th parallel. In the north of the Korean Peninsula is the closed, totalitarian nation of North Korea and in the south the complete opposite: South Korea boasts a thriving capitalist manufacturing and consumer economy. Peace between the two is fragile - the authors of this new book make that clear from the introduction - with border guards along the 38th parallel routinely firing 'warning shots' at one another.
