Donald Kirk.

Donald Kirk "Don Kirk tells you what Korean business is about and how it interacts with its own government and foreigners as no one else has. He differentiates clearly between doing business with Korea and Japan. A must read for business people and students learning about business in Asia." Jackson Huddleston Jr author, Gaijin Kaisha	Korean Dynasty Hyundai and Chung Ju Yung

Donald Kirk first covered Korea as Far East correspondent for the Chicago Tribune in the 1970s and has reported from Seoul since then for The Observer of London, USA Today and Newsday. In Asia he has covered stories ranging from the fall of Sukarno and Indonesia's "year of living dangerously," to Vietnam's Tet offensive and invasion of Kampuchea, to the Tiananmen Square massacre. In the Gulf War he was the only American newspaper correspondent in Baghdad during the January 1991 U.S. bombing. He received Overseas Press Club and George Polk awards for his reporting from Indochina, which produced two books, Wider War: The Struggle for Cambodia, Thailand and Laos and Tell it to the Dead: Memories of a War. He was Edward R. Murrow fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York in 1974-1975, participating in seminars on Korea and Japan. Donald Kirk now writes for the International Herald Tribune from Seoul and is an expert on Korea. He has reported on the assassination of Park Chung Hee, the Kwangju revolt, labor confrontations in Ulsan, the 1987 and 1992 presidential campaigns, the North Korean nuclear crisis and the death of Kim Il Sung. He has traveled extensively in the South and visited the North in 1992, journeying by train to the northeast special trade zone and Tumen River border with Russia. He was USA Today's only reporter at the Asian Games of 1986 and a member of the USA Today team at the 1988 Seoul Olympics. < >
