In his latest entertaining and thought provoking narrative travelogue, Michael Booth sets out to discover how deep, really, is the enmity between these three \"tiger\" nations, and what prevents them from making peace. Currently China's economic power continues to grow, Japan is becoming more militaristic, and Korea struggles to reconcile its westernized south with the dictatorial Communist north. Booth, long fascinated with the region, travels by car, ferry, train, and foot, experiencing the people and culture of these nations up close. No matter where he goes, the burden of history, and the memory of past atrocities, continues to overshadow present relationships. Ultimately, Booth seeks a way forward for these closely intertwined, neighboring nations. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAn enlightening, entertaining and sometimes sobering journey through China, Japan, and Korea, \u003ci\u003eThree Tigers, One Mountain\u003c\/i\u003e is an intimate and in-depth look at some of the world's most powerful and important countries.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichael Booth \u003c\/b\u003eis a journalist, broadcaster, and keynote speaker.
