In 2017, the world watched as President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un traded personal insults and escalating threats of nuclear war amid unprecedented shows of military force. Former Pentagon insider and Korean security expert Van Jackson traces the origins of the first American nuclear crisis in the post-Cold War era, and explains the fragile, highly unpredictable way that it ended. Grounded in security studies and informed analysis of the US response to North Korea's increasing nuclear threat, Trump's aggressive rhetoric is analysed in the context of prior US policy failures, the geopolitics of East Asia, North Korean strategic culture and the acceleration of its nuclear programme. Jackson argues that the Trump administration's policy of 'maximum pressure' brought the world much closer to inadvertent nuclear war than many realise - and charts a course for the prevention of future conflicts.

En succédant en décembre 2011 à son père Kim Jong-il, qui avait pris la suite de son père Kim Il-sung en juillet 1994, Kim Jong-un, le nouveau maître de Pyongyang, a confirmé que la République démocratique et populaire de Corée était plus que jamais la première monarchie absolue communiste de l'histoire. Une contradiction aussi absurde aurait de quoi fasciner si la Corée du Nord ne s'avérait un des régimes les plus impitoyables et dangereux de la planète. L'ordre règne sans doute à Pyongyang, mais grâce à un pouvoir concentrationnaire qui n'a pas hésité à affamer le peuple coréen pour se doter de l'arme atomique.Première biographie croisée des trois Kim qui ont imposé sans partage leurs volontés et leurs caprices à la Corée du Nord depuis trois quarts de siècle, ce livre, nourri aux meilleures sources internationales, donne à comprendre l'évolution d'un gouvernement unique dans l'histoire, entre violences endémiques, idéaux dévoyés, nationalisme exacerbé, absolutisme frénétique, culte du chef et terreur généralisée. Car la dynastie rouge n'est ni une aberration politique, ni une chimère coréenne, ni une métastase stalinienne, mais la mue cohérente d'un régime meurtrier et opportuniste, prêt à tout pour se maintenir au pouvoir.
