This comprehensive book surveys Korean history from Neolithic times to the present. Michael J. Seth explores the origins and development of Korean society, politics, and still little-known cultural heritage from their inception to the two Korean states of today. Throughout, he adds a rare dimension by placing Korean history into broader global perspective. All readers looking for a balanced, knowledgeable history will be richly rewarded with this clear and concise book.

Professor Seth, who has lived and worked in South Korea, is the author of Education Fever: Society, Politics and the Pursuit of Schooling in South Korea (2002), North Korea: A History (2018), and Korea at War (2023).
