{ "item_title" : "The History of Conflicts and Divisions", "item_author" : [" Key-Ray Chong", "Chin-Woo Kim "], "item_description" : "Mainstream Korean historians in general are reluctant to reveal the dark side of the Korean history, which, they believe, will undermine nationalistic values such as national sovereignty, national integration, and national pride. Some of them have even distorted unpalatable historical truths under the pretext of promoting national pride. In much the same way, mainstream Korean political scientists have often obscured, ignored, or denied the fact that Korean political history was riddled with conflicts and divisions among the ruling elite. They have thus made no serious attempt to interpret Korean political history from the perspective of conflict and division. However, it is necessary to interpret Korean political history from that perspective to rightly understand the divisive Korean political culture that has been changed little ever since the ancient Three Korean Kingdoms period. This book about Korean political history is the first one written from the perspective of conflict and division among the Korean ruling elite.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers3.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/1/72/242/567/1722425679_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "17.56", "online_price" : "17.56", "our_price" : "17.56", "club_price" : "17.56", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
