Summary |
Using over 60 books, hundreds of articles, and interviews, all translated into English, Michael Malice has constructed a picture of North Korea under the rule of Kim Jong Il. Fashioned in the form of an "unauthorized biography," this book illustrates the history of North Korea via the notorious leader's life story. |
