NKIDP Critical Oral History Conference Series

Transcripts of Critical Oral History Conferences. Launched in 2008, the multi-year Critical Oral History Conference Series is designed to fill the gaps in the available documentary record and add greater nuance to even well-understood events. The conferences, which involve veteran diplomatic and intelligence officials from the United States, South Korea, China, and the former communist bloc, seek to explore the untapped wealth of non-archival sources to shed invaluable light on the history of inter-Korean, U.S.-Korean, and DPRK-communist bloc relations.

The NKIDP Working Paper Series is edited by Christian F. Ostermann and James F. Person, and is supported generously by the Korea Foundation and private donations from individuals and corporations.
