Despite frequent predictions of imminent collapse; the Democratic People’s Republic of North Korea continues to pose a threat to South Korea. The armed forces continue to be the core of the regime; deploying formidable paramilitary and internal security forces against its own people; maintaining a wide network of intelligence services throughout the region and developing an arsenal of weapons of mass destruction. The Armed Forces of North Korea provides a detailed account of the links between the regime and the forces; and then describes each wing: air; naval; ground forces; paramilitary; internal security; and intelligence reviews.

Insignia of World War IIBy A CustomerI waited over a month for this book to arrive and when it arrived I found that it was well worth the wait. The book is not; nor does it claim to be; the definitive reference on military insignia during the WWII period. It is a solid secondary reference source though; and contains a great amount of information conveyed through excellent illustrations and interesting text. The major and minor participants are covered in a clear format that makes searching out specific information quite easy; although a "beefier" index would have helped. All in all this volume is an excellent addition to my "library" and would easily find a home in collectors and history buff's collections. Besides; where else could you find the rank insignia for a Captain of Engineers in the Finnish Navy?
