Excellent!

Excellent! Although this book covers the depressing issues of the suffering in and the lack of human rights in "The Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea" it was extremely informative. It also covers how their isolation is being torn down, and how markets and underground ties are forming among the people of North Korea. I had the audio version. It was great with the exception that a few Koren words mentioned were pronounced different from my previous exposure to them. I have previously spent about 5 years in S. Korea, and like to follow information from N. Korea. The information was up-to-date and actuate with the exception of Korean words I previously noted IMO.

I was a born in North Korea in Chungjin, in the closed dictatorship of North Korea, where I was cut off from the rest of the world and brainwashed from birth to obey the state. Like all citizens, I went through school believing that North Korea was the greatest country on earth and knew nothing about the atrocities carried out against its people.
I lived in North Korea I never heard any foreign countries radios and read books, so I did not know outside countries, but nowadays more and more North Korean are listening to foreign radio broadcasts, watching South Korean soap operas and Western films and they know their regium has been lying to them about South Korea and the rest of the world.
In North Korea listen to the foreign radio is dangerous, it can cost your life and your families life, but people understand what is freedom. Every action take forward freedom comes with enormous risks and pains, progress takes time and there's no guarantee of success.
However, it's more likely to succeed if you exploit the weakness of a dictatorship, rather than going head-to-head.
The most importation strategy among all ideas for engagement is to spread knowledge and information from outside to North Korean citizens.
What is a person without food?
What is a person without freedom?
What is a person without information?
In North Korean people, this is my people, I will tell you send to them hope and dreams and give to opportunity new freedom life same as you.
It is information that pours oil into the flames of desire for freedom.
Information is a driving force that turns hope of blazing freedom into hope.

Essential reading for anyone curious about life in NK
ByJohn W. Grosson 16 November 2017 - Published on Amazon.com

This book shows the dramatic role technology [CDs, DVDs, thumb drives] has played in altering North Korean society. The concept of what North Korean society was like and how it has changed in recent times can rest only on careful investigation of what North Korean defectors report themselves. This book is entirely based on first hand interviews of that kind. I believe reading this book provided me with a better idea of life in NK than even a visit as a tourist could provide, interesting though that would be. Travel will provide at best a heavily censored experience of what North Korean authorities want visitors to see. To get a real feel on what it is like to actually live there, this book is essential reading.

Highly Recomend...a good read for those interested in NK and Asia in general
ByKerndogon 19 October 2017 - Published on Amazon.com

Really enjoyed this book. I had no idea that the information flow into NK was as much as the author reported. NK is such a closed society that experts have to sometimes make some broad generalizations about what could be going on among the populace and the author discloses that fact. Many of the defectors seem to come the northern provinces of NK that allow for easier access to China. Would be very interesting to know how the thought processes of masses deeper within NK. That would seem to be an impossible task to collect information from those areas. Highly recommend this book for those interested in this part of the world.

It was great, and amazing opportunity for me
ByJihyun Parkon 28 December 2016 - Published on Amazon.com
“North Korea's Hidden Revolution”
I met Jieun twice in the UK, once in University of Oxford and she visited my home end of November 2016.
She gave to me her book when she visited my home and I read her book for a month.
It was great, and amazing opportunity for me, I have read that a book and I also learnt inside North Korea again and was surprised, because many people change mind and want to learn outside countries.
