He was the U.S. Deputy Head of Delegation for the Six Party Talks, concerned with security risks posed by the North Korean weapons programme. During his role as adviser to the White House he spent time in Pyongyang, and is in a unique position to comment on North Korean affairs. He is currently Professor of Government and Asian Studies and Director of Asian Studies at Georgetown University.

This book illuminates the repressive regime's complex economy and culture, its appalling record of human rights abuses, its belligerent relationship with its neighbours and the United States.
