North Korea Confidential

Private Markets, Fashion Trends, Prison Camps, Dissenters and Defectors

Daniel Tudor

Discover what life is like in one of the world's most troubled societies - North Korea. Led by a violent dictatorship obsessed with developing nuclear arms, the country's 24 million citizens must play a role in the "theater state" even as their well-being is ignored. Learn about the rise of a lawless form of marketization after the failure of their outdated system, and how this new society is more susceptible to outside information than ever before. This insider's view of North Korean society is based on interviews with members of Pyongyang's ruling families, defectors, diplomats, and cross-border traders, as well as textual accounts appearing in English, Korean and Chinese sources. The resulting stories show both the horror and the innovation and humor that exist in this fascinating country.
