On August 9, 2007, The Korea Society hosted a contemporary issues presentation by Jack Pritchard, president of the Korea Economic Institute and former State Department special envoy to the DPRK. Pritchard spoke on the subject of his new book, Failed Diplomacy: The Tragic Story of How North Korea Got the Bomb. Pritchard shared his perspective that North Korea's recent acquisition of nuclear weapons directly resulted from a series of failures in U.S. foreign policy. Following his presentation, Pritchard sat down for a Q&A session with journalist and author Don Oberdorfer.
