'Michael Shin and his colleagues have done us an essential and estimable service with this beautiful, fascinating and illuminating work. The illustrations are superb, and when accompanied by the authors' excellent commentary and analysis, Korean History in Maps becomes not just an invaluable book, but a keepsake. It opens new, sparkling and indelible images and windows on the entire Korean experience from (Old) Joseon to the present. The paucity of similar books, at least in English, makes this a milestone in the literature on Korean history.' Bruce Cumings, Gustavus F. and Ann M. Swift Distinguished Service Professor in History at the University of Chicago, and author of Korea's Place in the Sun: A Modern History
