Books by David W. Shin

In this book, David W. Shin argues that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, who is often labeled a madman by the press, is actually a competent strategist who has been consistently underestimated.

Rationality in the North Korean Regime explores the history of the Kim family, examining cases of provocations from the Korean War to the August 2015 land mine incident to assess the regime's rationality.
