Katie Stallard: Dancing on Bones, Gebunden

Klappentext

The leaders of Russia, China, and North Korea use a distorted version of the history of WWII and the Korean War to shore up popular support at home and justify aggressive foreign policy and expansive military ambitions. Those who dare to challenge the official line are persecuted, silenced, and locked up, while schoolchildren are required to memorize the authorized account. Deeply-reported and drawing on first-hand experience on the ground in all three countries, Dancing on Bones argues that if we want to understand where these three nuclear powers are heading, we must understand the stories they are telling their citizens about the past.
