Divided Nations and Transitional Justice is a collection of significant writings contributed by the late president Kim Dae-jung of the Republic of Korea and former president Richard von Weizsaecker of Germany. "This timely book shows how two great presidential former leaders, Kim Dae-Jung (1925-2009) of Korea and Richard von Weizsäcker (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
