The North and South Korea have been at war for nearly 60 years - an armistice agreement signed in 1953 is all that prevents full-scale warfare from erupting. With its nuclear ambitions, the fourth largest active army in the world and increasing number of acts of aggression, the Democratic People´s Republic of Korea is keeping tensions high on the peninsula. This book provides valuable material about the long history of the hostilities between the two neighboring states, their opposing armies and developments that have influenced the course of the conflict since the end of the Korean War.
