Asian quote of the day
“In the month that Saigon fell, April 1975, only 14 percent of Americans responding to a Louis Harris public opinion poll favoured US involment if North Korea attacked the South…” from “The Two Koreas” by Donober Dorfer (1997/2001).
Obviously they didn’t have Fox News in the 70s…
Interesting book by the way, or at least until the nuclear bomb diplomacy turns the whole story into a succession of committee meetings. Can’t say anything for the accuracy of it or how much interest it would be to an expert, having only read two books on Korea and both ones I bought mainly because they were 300 yen in Book Off (the second hand book chain that also has a hardware shop called, of course, Hard Off) .
Any Korea hands read this book and want to comment?
