Kim, a Korean by birth, examines the task of nation-building in Korea under an ineffectual thirteen-year civil rule followed by a modern military establishment. The baffling ambivalence of the military in politics--expressed by the overthrow of the legitimate government in defense of democracy--is given serious study in this book.
