Haas undertakes a comparative analysis of foreign policy decisions to determine how relationships between the U.S. and each country have diverged drastically, in spite of a legacy of U.S. occupation in both regions. By tracing diplomatic interactions historically, comparatively quantifying diplomatic missteps on the part of the U.S., and cross-testing four paradigms of international relations, Haas presents a case for why the U.S. has succeeded in developing good relations with Vietnam while failing to achieve them with North Korea.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNuclear war haunts the world today because the U.S. has refused to negotiate a peace agreement with North Korea for more than\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This is a timely and engaging study. Michael Haas draws on his considerable experience and wide-ranging scholarship, as well as a vast literature by others, to compare American diplomacy in dealing with postwar Vietnam and with nuclear-driven North Korea. The United States got it 'right' in moving from enmity to normal relations with Vietnam which has led to beneficial political and economic results, but has failed in the case of North Korea which has led to the most serious international crisis since 1962 Cuba.\" —\u003ci\u003eGary Hess, Distinguished Research Professor of History, Bowling Green State University\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Figures – List of Tables – Foreword by Bill Richardson – Preface – Abbreviations – Part 1.
