No Exit: North Korea, Nuclear Weapons, and International Security

By Jonathan D. Pollack
No Exit: North Korea, Nuclear Weapons, and International Security book cover

How has North Korea repeatedly stymied or circumvented the efforts of the United States and others to prevent its nuclear weapons development? In a new book, No Exit: North Korea, Nuclear Weapons and International Security, Jonathan Pollack chronicles the political-military evolution of the Korean peninsula since 1945. Pollack focuses on North Korea’s pursuit of nuclear technology and nuclear weapons, and how it has shaped Northeast Asian security and non-proliferation policy and influenced the strategic choices of the United States and the regional powers. Pollack also provides unique insights into North Korea’s leadership, institutions and political history.
