The writers are President Park Chung Hee of the Republic of Korea, Theodore H. White, Pulitzer Prize-winning American author, and Harold Wilson, former Prime Minister of Great Britain. Each offers a unique perspective on a subject of special interest to readers of this volume.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(32, 32, 32);\"\u003eThe story of Korea's growth and development, as told by President Park, is a fascinating one. Korea is more than 4,000 years old; yet it is only 26 years since it escaped colonialism, and 23 years since South Korea held its first representative election.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(32, 32, 32);\"\u003ePresident Park notes that Korea has suffered from nine major invasions in the past 2,000 years. The one most remembered by readers of the Book of the Year, of course, was the incursion by Communist troops on June 25, 1950, setting off a bloody war that was to involve the United States and many other nations before the armistice in 1953.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(32, 32, 32);\"\u003eSince President Park took office in 1961, the Republic of Korea has moved forward vigorously under his leadership toward national recon-struction and economic expansion. His article describes how his nation has shaken off the hardship of the past and set itself firmly on the road to becoming a modern, prosperous nation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(32, 32, 32);\"\u003eIn the United States, 1970 was a turbulent year, as recounted in a unique narrative history by Theodore White, author of the best-selling \"Making of the President\" books.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(32, 32, 32);\"\u003eWhite weaves together the diverse events at home and abroad-the contagious emotions and the \"clash of cultures.\" He captures the mood of the nation as it was confronted with a mélange of domestic issues-bombings and violence, student unrest, the drug scourge, the ecology movement, an uncertain economy. On the world scene, the United States was faced with a con-tinuing war in Vietnam, crisis in the Middle East, and new challenges from the Soviet Union.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(32, 32, 32);\"\u003eBringing his political expertise to bear on the 1970 election, White analyzes the issues, the candidates, the campaign, the results and what they mean for the future. He focuses on the role of President Nixon and Vice-President Agnew, and also examines the activities of leading Democratic figures.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(32, 32, 32);\"\u003eWhite viewed this article as one of his most challenging writing assignments. It is a new landmark in contemporary journalism for both the author and for the Book of the Year.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(32, 32, 32);\"\u003eAnother first for this yearbook is the article by Harold Wilson, a distinguished statesman and British Prime Minister from 1964 to 1970. His article is the first he has written since his Labour Party lost the 1970 election.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Altro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59120388112728,"sku":null,"price":8.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/9858\/4472\/files\/BritannicaBookoftheYear1971_Eventsof1970_1.jpg?v=1794605403","url":"https:\/\/libreriabiellese.com\/products\/britannica-book-of-the-year-1971-events-of-1970","provider":"Libreria Biellese","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
