This comprehensive book surveys Korean history from Neolithic times to the present. Michael J. Seth explores the origins and development of Korean society, politics, and still little-known cultural heritage from their inception to the two Korean states of today. Throughout, he adds a rare dimension by placing Korean history into broader global perspective. All readers looking for a balanced, knowledgeable history will be richly rewarded with this clear and concise book.
Michael Seth's A Concise History of Korea stands as the singular authoritative history of Korea for the undergraduate audience. In depth in its treatment of the social, cultural, military, political, and economic developments of Korea, it also presents a compelling image of Korea within the world. From the unique cultural constructions of Korean society during the Kingdoms and Dynasties to the pain felt under Japanese occupation, Seth makes the story of the Korean nation come alive. Comprehensive and engaging, Seth's work is an excellent text for college students new to the subject. -- Courtney A. Short, Colorado State University - Pueblo
