"Based on personal interviews with the principal policy-makers of the 1970s, Korea's Development under Park Chung Hee examines how the president sought to develop South Korea into an independent, autonomous sovereign state both economically and militarily. Kim brings a new narrative to the complex task of exploring the paradoxical nature and effects of Korea's rapid development which maintains that any judgment of Park must consider his achievements in the socio-economic, cultural and political context in which they took place"--Jacket.
