"Cummings profiles the many atomic weapons systems that America introduced into South Korea, in flagrant violation of the Armstice Agreement ... Cummings is honest about the US strategy of nuclear blackmail and this material is particularly timely in view of recent revelations that is has secretly introduced nuclear arsenals into 27 countries"--Morning Star, 29 December 1999 "Cumings's views derive from a close study of East Asia over several decades and produce insights that are devastating to American amour propre. His is not just a new perspective but also the source of truly unknown information. There is no other voice quite like that of Bruce Cumings." --Chalmers Johnson, Japan Policy Research Institute [Cumings] can be brutal in his frankness, and is no stranger to controversy. This present collection of essays ... reflects his strengths and weaknesses. All the essays are worth reading ...--Asian Affairs, October 2000
