IMMOVABLE OBJECT: North Korea’s 70 Years at War with American Power

“… Not since David Halberstam’s The Coldest Winter (2007), has there been as comprehensive and deeply-researched study of the complex issues of U.S.-North Korean relations. This is a big, informative and engaging read, an excellent reference for anyone needing an up-to-date current study of U.S.-North Korean history and regional tensions. For readers with knowledge of Korean affairs, this book offers fresh perspective, critical analysis and revisionist insights...." KOREAN QUARTERLY REVIEW “If North Korea were ever to publish its own view of the history of its relationship with the USA the result might well look something like this book. While controversial, Abrams is careful to support his assertions with footnotes and references, so that even those who find his conclusions unpalatable will be forced to weigh them carefully.”– John Everard, British Ambassador to North Korea from 2006-2008. Former Co-ordinator of the UN Security Council's Panel of Experts on sanctions on North Korea. “To understand where the Korean Peninsula might go in the rest of the 21st century, Abrams' telling of the story of how the two countries got to where they are today is essential.”– Ankit Panda, senior editor, The Diplomat and Stanton Senior Fellow in the Nuclear Policy Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. “Timely and profound, this book offers a thorough and much-needed examination of the 70-year confrontation between the US and North Korea, the longest-lasting conflict in American history.”- Charles K. Armstrong, author of The North Korean Revolution, 1945 - 1950 "A.B. Abrams’ new book, Immovable Object: North Korea’s 70 Years at War with American Power (Clarity Press, 2020), shows that the common perceptions in the U.S. of North Korea are mostly wrong... Abrams’ book is most significant in helping readers to understand the DPRK’s long staying power and in debunking media stereotypes, which have helped validate aggressive regime-change policies." - Jeremy Kuzmarov, Covert Action Quarterly "a superb book that I most highly recommend. There is so much more information and narrative to be gleaned from Abrams’s book that a review (even as lengthy as this) can touch on. Abrams goes into western media disinformation and propaganda campaigns against the DPRK. He answers why the DPRK state secrecy, media censorship, and why North Korean defector accounts should be regarded with deep skepticism. Read the impeccably substantiated Immovable Object and find out for yourself what undergirds the DPRK’s resistance to US hegemony...." Kim Petersen, Dissident Voice "Immovable Object describes the people and government of an extraordinarily advanced nation, the DPRK, with objectivity, and even more importantly, with massive, fully credible documentation refuting all bigoted efforts to demonize and destroy this remarkable people by all means.  As such, it is a desperately needed contribution to the accurate understanding of North Korea."
