Used Book in Good Condition
▼ Read Reddit mentions
I read "Exit Emperor Kim Jong-Il: Notes from His Former Mentor" which was quite good.
http://www.amazon.com/Exit-Emperor-Kim-Jong-Il-Former/dp/145820216X
My review from amazon:
>Some interesting subjects discused: Kim Jong-il in competition for power against his uncle, Kim Jong-un's struggle for power against his brother from another mother. The numerous "purges" that allowed Kim Jong-il to stay in power. His bullheadedness toward China and the Soviets. The man who shot his wife for secretly complaining to Kim Il-sung of Kim Jong-ils parties. Upon Hwang Jang-yop's defection, around 8000 people within his sphere of influence were sent to prison camps.

>Great book that reads like fiction but unfortunately isn't. I would have loved to hear more about Hwang Jang-yop's life, maybe in another book.
Also the first book I read was a year in Pyongyang. Free online:

Basically about a British guy that goes over to Pyongyang for a year to translate propaganda and doesn't enjoy it.

I recommend The Impossible State. I am about halfway through it and here is what I have gotten so far.
N. Korea is in a very weak position if actual war broke out. The major reason that the U.S. and S. Korea won't attack and want to avoid an all out conflict is not because they would lose, but because thousands (possibly tens of thousands) of soldiers and civilians would die before the end.
N. Korea still has to project the image that it can inflict massive amounts of casualties in order to maintain peace. If it became obvious that N. Korea could not inflict heavy losses on the South, then neither the South nor the U.S. would listen to any of its demands.
Its far more complex than that, which is why I recommend the book.
USA also wanted to get rid of north korea completely (that's why they pushed so far north if you remember...). I suggest you to read this before making a complete fool of yourself. And yes war is the most horrible thing on Earth, with slavery maybe... I don't know what's worse.
If you think war is ok, I suggest you to read Im Westen nichts Neues which gives a good insight of the tragedy this is for everyone involved.
War is sometimes necessary to protect ourselves, but war is never ok.
