This episode of the Korea Now podcast features an interview that Jed Lea-Henry conducted with Ben Young. They speak about Ben’s new book Guns, Guerillas, and the Great Leader: North Korea and the Third World, how and why North Korea sought allies around the Third World during the Cold War period, what these alliances looked like and consisted of, how the changing internal politics of North Korea affected these partnerships, how North Korea saw these international relationships as a means to sell its cult of personality, to acquire hard currency, to cause unrest for America and its allies, and to compete against South Korea for United Nations votes and international recognition, all with a deep dive into the case studies of Cuba and Palestine.
