Summary
In 2008, North Korea celebrates its 60th anniversary, and authors Magnus Bärtås and Fredrik Ekman take a bizarre, heavily guided tour to the world’s most isolated country. Bärtås and Ekman weave together these three stories to create a mosaic of North Korea, past and present: from the Japanese occupation to the demarcation of the border at the 38th parallel and the Korean War, the development of North Korean Juche ideology, the establishment of the Kim dynasty’s cult of personality, and the aggressive manufacturing of political propaganda, which motivated the kidnapping of South Korea’s most famous film couple.
