Dear Leader: My Escape from North Korea

Dear Leader: My Escape from North Korea

THE STORY THEY COULDN'T HACK: In this international bestseller, a high-ranking counterintelligence agent describes his life as a former poet laureate to Kim Jong-il and his breathtaking escape to freedom.

As North Koreaâ‚¬s State Poet Laureate, Jang Jin-sung led a charmed life. With food provisions (even as the country suffered through its great famine), a travel pass, access to strictly censored information, and audiences with Kim Jong-il himself, his life in Pyongyang seemed safe and secure. But this privileged existence was about to be shattered. When a strictly forbidden magazine he lent to a friend goes missing, Jang Jin-sung must flee for his life.

Never before has a member of the elite described the inner workings of this totalitarian state and its propaganda machine. An astonishing exposÂ© told through the heart-stopping story of Jang Jin-sungâ‚¬s escape to South Korea, Dear Leader is an â‚¬Å“impossibly dramatic storyâ‚¬Â¦one of the best depictions yet of North Koreaâ‚¬s nightmareâ‚¬Â (Publishers Weekly).
