{"product_id":"9781458210364","title":"Korea, Are You at Peace?: Tales of Two Women Travelers in a Troubled Land","description":"Is there hope for peace on the Korean peninsula?  These deeply personal stories of two Western women reveal the almost unimaginable transformation of Korea from a culturally and politically united peninsula at the end of the nineteenth century into today’s dangerously divided land. These two women’s experiences bracket the twentieth century, a dark time in Korean history, when the peninsula was occupied by Japan, divided into North and South, and wracked by internal war—becoming an unwilling pawn of Cold-War superpowers. Despite everything, South Korea has emerged as an international economic success story, whereas North Korea has become a totalitarian ideological nightmare in which leaders spew the rhetoric of aggression and develop nuclear weapons.  What would it take to heal this political schizophrenia that endangers our entire world?","brand":"Abbott Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47129031016688,"sku":"9781458210364","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781458210364_p0.jpg?v=1763861655","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781458210364","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
