Praise for
IMMOVABLE OBJECT
A.B. Abrams tells the history of the fraught relationship between the United States and North Korea with care. His undertaking explains how the two countries, from Kim Il Sung and Harry Truman to Kim Jong Un and Donald J. Trump, have managed a difficult coexistence. To understand where the Korean Peninsula might go in the rest of the 21st century, Abrams telling of the story of how the two countries got to where they are today is essential.

Timely and profound.Paying due attention to the historical origins of the U.S.DPRK conflict in the Korean War period, as well as the Cold War confrontation and post-Cold War nuclear crises, the author also explores new frontiers of conflict in the economy, ideology, and information. An excellent and informed introduction to North Korea and to Americas unending confrontation with that poorly-understood country.
Charles K. Armstrong,author of The North Korean Revolution, 19451950
If North Korea were ever to publish its own view of the history of its relationship with the USA, the result might well look something like this book. While controversial, Abrams is careful to support his assertions with footnotes and references, so that even those who find his conclusions unpalatable will be forced to weigh them carefully.

A.B. Abrams has written a most comprehensive history of the various ways the United States has egregiously intervened into the culture and sovereignty of the people living on the Korean Peninsula. Reading this historical treatise will provide the uncomfortable and horrible, yet intriguing details of this venture of U.S. imperialism, contributing greatly to the readers understanding of why history is never past.
