Beschreibung

The authors explore what life is really like in modern North Korea for ordinary people, cutting through the stereotypes. Just as the Korean war created a new generation of South Korean over-achievers, the authors believe that the 1990s famine in North Korea has caused a transformation in the country that will spur its citizens to great achievements.
