Unpacking "The North Korean Revolution"

Was North Korea simply a Soviet puppet state, or did its revolution have deep indigenous roots? This episode embarks on a crucial journey into Charles K. Armstrong's groundbreaking book, The North Korean Revolution, 1945-1950. We'll meticulously unravel the complex social, political, and ideological forces that forged the Democratic People's Republic of Korea in its earliest, tumultuous years. Go beyond common misconceptions to discover a nuanced, evidence-based understanding of the DPRK's origins, challenging long-held assumptions about one of the world's most enigmatic states.
