Great Leader, Dear Leader

de Bertil Lintner · Publicada por primera vez en 2005

"Great Leader, Dear Leader is an expose of North Korea under the Kim clan - Great Leader Kim Il Sung and his son, Dear Leader Kim Jong Il. It traces the origin of the regimes ideology and investigates its attempts to fill the empty state coffers through missile technology sales and other unorthodox schemes. It examines the regime's relations with South Korea, the countrywide famine and the juche ideal, the "military first" policy, and the nuclear weapons programme." "Bertil Lintner demystifies rather than demonizes the least known of the "Axis of Evil" countries by taking us behind the wall of secrecy and the many misperceptions that surround North Korea. He interviews Koreans from both sides of the divided peninsula, as well as ethnic Koreans in Japan and leading Korea experts, to present an analysis of what has been happening in this shrouded country, and what we might expect in the future."--Jacket.
