Product Description
The behindthescenes story of the rise and reign of the worlds strangest and most elusive tyrant Kim Jong Un by the journalist with the best connections and insights into the bizarrely dangerous world of North Korea. Since his birth in 1984 Kim Jong Un has been swaddled in myth and propaganda from the plainly sillyhe could supposedly drive a car at the age of threeto the grimly bloody stories of family members who perished at his command. Anna Fifield reconstructs Kims past and present with exclusive access to sources near him and brings her unique understanding to explain the dynastic mission of the Kim family in North Korea. The archaic notion of despotic family rule matches the almost medieval hardship the country has suffered under the Kims. Few people thought that a young untested unhealthy Swisseducated basketball fanatic could hold together a country that should have fallen apart years ago. But Kim Jong Un has not just survived he has thrived abetted by the approval of Donald Trump and diplomacys weirdest bromance. Skeptical yet insightful Fifield creates a captivating portrait of the oddest and most secretive political regime in the worldone that is isolated yet internationally relevant bankrupt yet in possession of nuclear weaponsand its ruler the selfproclaimed Beloved and Respected Leader Kim Jong Un. show more
