As a sequel to our two earlier books End of the “End of Cold War”, and “Tomahawks over Syria: Final Trailer of Third World War ” the present book looks at another hot potato, North Korea, a tiny nation in Korea peninsula. The Korea peninsula got broken in two parts, viz. South Korea and North Korea. Ever since under a totalitarian ruler, North Korea has been under the public scrutiny for its various acts of commission and emission. It has shown its contempt for human rights. Although it has signed a number of bilateral and multilateral treaties it has demonstrated little or no regard for them. It does not desist from making provocative statements and abusive acts. It has build up a huge army, by any standards disproportionate to its size and requirements. Most importantly, it is in possession of powerful armaments and weapons of mass destruction including nuclear bombs and long range missiles. North Korea not only flaunts its assets, it feels no restraint in threatening to make use of it whenever it feels an iota of threat to its interests. Is this threat real or merely a hoax ? This book looks at different aspects of this part of cold war: who likes whom? Who supports whom? Who is in possession of nuclear key?
