Reviews / Votes
"This timely book shows how two great presidential former leaders, Kim Dae-Jung (1925-2009) of Korea and Richard von Weizsaecker (1920- ) of Germany coped with the historic legacies of their countries on the basis of firm personal moral principles and despite being subject to institutional constraints and pressures from both inside and outside."-Political Studies Review
