[KS] spies and thrillers

[Balazs Szalontai]

Dear Mr. Hoffmann and all,
   
  I completely understand the reservations concerning the sensationalist approaches to North Korean commando raids and terrorist actions. For instance, I consider the book written by Kim Hyong-hui (and ghost-written by the ANSP) more a piece of propaganda than a reliable source. During my own research on the subject, I tried to understand, above all, the political motives behind these acts and the specific political context (e.g., the South Korean domestic situation in 1974, 1983 and 1987) in which they took place. Since my research is still in progress, I would prefer discussing the subject in private e-mails, but if anyone is interested in a serious analysis of these actions, I am more than ready to share my thoughts.
   
  Best,
  Balazs Szalontai
