'America's relationships with North and South Korea surged to the forefront of international politics during the Trump administration. Fortunately, this brilliantly conceived volume edited by Mitchell Lerner and David Fields covers nearly every facet of US-Korean relations during this period. It includes essays on economic, cultural, political, and strategic relations by some of the best young scholars in the field. It should be read by policymakers, scholars and general readers who seek a better understanding of recent developments on the Korean peninsula.'
