Why don't you give exact delivery time?

Charts the incredible rise of South Korea, from colonisation and civil war to today?s thriving nation.
South Korea has a remarkable history. Born from the ashes of imperial domination, partition and a devastating war, back in the 1950s there were real doubts about its survival as an independent state. Yet South Korea endures: today it is a boisterous democracy, a vibrant market economy, a tech powerhouse, and home to the coolest of cultures. In just seventy years, this society has grown from a shrimp into a whale.
What explains this extraordinary transformation? For some, it was individual South Koreans who fought to change their country, and still strive to shape it. For others, it was forward-looking political and business leaders with a vision. Either way, it?s clear that this is the story of a people who dreamt big, and whose dreams came true.
Shrimp to Whale is a lively history of South Korea, from its millennia-old roots, through the division of the Peninsula, dictatorship and economic growth, to today?s global powerhouse.
?[Shrimp to Whale] captures South Korea?s triumphant postwar ascent from abject poverty and trauma.?
