In September 2017, North Korea shocked the world by exploding the most powerful nuclear device tested anywhere in 25 years. Months earlier, it had conducted the first test flight of a missile capable of ranging much of the United States. By the end of that year, Kim Jong Un, the reclusive state's ruler, declared that his nuclear deterrent was complete. Today, North Korea's nuclear weapons stockpile and ballistic missile arsenal continues to grow, presenting one of the most serious challenges to international security to date. Internal regime propaganda has called North Korea's nuclear forces the country's 'treasured sword,' underscoring the cherished place of these weapons in national strategy. Fiercely committed to self-reliance, Kim remains determined to avoid unilateral disarmament. This book tells the story of how North Korea, once derided in the 1970s as a 'fourth-rate pipsqueak' of a country by President Richard Nixon, came to credibly threaten the American homeland by November 2017. The author explores the contours of North Korea's nuclear capabilities, the developmental history of its weapons programs, and the prospects for disarming or constraining Kim's arsenal. With no signs that North Korea's total disarmament is imminent over the next years, or even decade, he explores the consequences of a nuclear-armed North Korea for the United States, South Korea, and the world.

Given that a new president will soon occupy the White House, Walter C. Clemens Jr. argues that now is the time to reconsider US diplomatic efforts in North Korea. In 'North Korea and the World', Clemens poses the question, 'Can, should, and must we negotiate with a regime we regard as evil?'. Weighing the needs of all the stakeholders he concludes that the answer is yes.
