With an informed and informative series of chapters ranging from "Preventing War and Forging Peace", to Humanitarian Assistance and Human Security", to "Intelligent Intervention for a Stable Peace", Professor Smith presents an eye-opening account of the direct association that she had with the North Korean peoples, particularly the famine famine Extreme and protracted shortage of food, resulting in widespread hunger and a substantial increase in the death rate. General famines affect all classes or groups in the region of food shortage; class famines affect some classes or groups much more severely than that struck in the 1990's.
