First published in Korean in 2016, Inside North Korea's Theocracy offers a fascinating and rare look at the lives of several of the regime's key leaders. Its primary focus is Jang Song-thaek, a talented and reform-minded member of the political ruling class who was executed in 2013. Jang was the son-in-law of North Korean founder, Kim Il-sung; brother-in-law of its second leader, Kim Jong-il; and uncle to its current leader, Kim Jong-un. The author traces Jang's life from his youth as a brilliant student in Pyongyang to his eventual marriage to Kim Kyong-hui and his rising power as a businessman to, ultimately, his untimely death. In addition to biographical sketches of Jang, his wife, and brother-in-law, Ra Jong-yil provides first-hand impressions of life in North Korea and illuminates the inner workings of its government.

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.

"Cinq pièces écrites pour lutter contre la dictature par un poète trentenaire, à qui cela coûtera tortures et prison : voici le théâtre complet de Kim Chi-ha. Cet art en rébellion, frère coréen de la scène de Mai 68, retrouve "la voie des rythmes" d'une riche tradition, danses masquées, chant pansori, rituels chamaniques, percussions samulnori, pour parler du présent et s'adresser aux masses. C'est un festival d'acrobaties verbales, de jeux de mots et de subversion du langage, qui nous prouve que rien n'est vraiment intraduisible ! Un important dossier - signé par Kim Suk-man, Kim Chi-ha, et Jean-Marie Pradier- permet de resituer le contexte, et souligner l'enjeu toujours actuel de ces textes"

"À l'occasion du trentième anniversaire de la mort de Georges Simenon (1903-1989) en 2019, Jean-Baptiste Baronian examine le cas "Simenon" comme s'il dirigeait une enquête criminelle. Simenon est à la fois victime, coupable et toujours... en cavale. On voyage à travers les multiples zones d'ombre et non-dits qui planent encore sur son oeuvre et sa biographie pour redécouvrir l'incroyable modernité, la singularité saisissante de cet écrivain. Un portrait irrésistible et subtil par l'un des plus grands spécialistes de Simenon."--Page 4 of cover.
