While filming on the Chinese/North Korean border, they were chased down by North Korean soldiers who violently apprehended them. Laura and Euna were charged with trespassing and "hostile acts," and imprisoned by Kim Jong Il's notoriously secretive Communist state.

There’s a strong effort from within our great nation to destroy our free American way of life that we have enjoyed since our nation ‘under God’ was formed. There is also evidence that the plan to destroy us grows more militantly open. Not only has our great nation been infiltrated by those whose plan is to destroy our nation, our heritage, and our culture; many from within are aiding in that effort by trying with all their might to destroy the presidency of Donald Trump. With their many blatant, ungodly, and inhuman attacks against the leader of our nation, they expose themselves as ...

Having spent centuries in the shadows of its neighbors China and Japan, Korea is now the object of considerable interest for radically different reasons - the South as an economic success story and for its vibrant popular culture; the North as the home to one of the world's most repressive regimes, at once both bizarre and menacing. Korea: A Very Short Introduction explores the history, culture, and society of a deeply divided region.

On April 29, 1992, following the acquittal of four police officers charged with the beating and arrest of Rodney King and the earlier killing of teenager Latasha Harlins, the city of Los Angeles erupted in violence.

Yeonmi Park was not dreaming of freedom when she escaped from North Korea. She didn't even know what it meant to be free. All she knew was that she was running for her life, that if she and her family stayed behind they would die - from starvation, or disease, or even execution.

North Korea's bizarre feuds with the rest of the world have been turned into comedy gold time and time again, perhaps because their endless threats seem so far removed from reality. But just how serious is the threat of nuclear war against North Korea? North Korea’s Nuclear Program: The History of the Hermit Kingdom’s Development of Nuclear Weapons looks at how North Korea has developed and tested destructive nuclear weapons over the past several decades.

To say that the so-called "Supreme Commanders" of North Korea have been sticklers for submission would trivialize the more-than-troubling state of affairs that has plagued this precarious place for decades. The fearsome Kim regime, though relatively fresh in comparison to powerful dynasties that lasted for centuries, has become one of history's most controversial bloodlines. Kim Il-sung analyzes the known and unknown about one of the most important leaders of the 20th century.

There are many messengers and images in Revelation described as beasts. And in most cases they are considered terrible looking animals visualized as dragons or other beasts with pointy tales and mouths spewing fire and brimstone. This is not the case. Most of these beasts are only metaphors that describe messengers or a visualization of an otherwise indescribable image. There are two types of beasts described in Revelation. One type is only a metaphor that describes a thought, an idea, or a messenger. There are four of these ‘beasts’ that introduce the Four Horses of the Apocalypse. ...

North Korea would be horrific enough if it was a fictional place, but its nuclear weapons program is all too real.

This paper explores President Truman’s decision to intervene in the Korean War and then cross the 38th parallel and invade North Korea. An analysis of Truman’s foreign policy reveals that intervention in the Korean War was part of a new global offensive against the spread of communism. Domestically, Truman believed that a Korean offensive across the 38th parallel would quiet his critics and allow him to mobilize the economy for a long-term Cold War. Militarily, Truman’s advisors overwhelmingly supported the invasion of North Korea. They concluded that Korea could be unified after ...
