"Destined to become a classic" (Iris Chang, author of The Rape of Nanking), this harrowing memoir of life inside North Korea was the first account to emerge from the notoriously secretive country -- and it remains one of the most terrifying. Amid escalating nuclear tensions, Kim Jong-un and North Korea's other leaders have kept a tight grasp on their one-party state, quashing any nascent opposition movements and sending all suspected dissidents to its brutal concentration camps for "re-education." Kang Chol-Hwan is the first survivor of one of these camps to escape and tell his story to the world, documenting the extreme conditions in these gulags and providing a personal insight into life in North Korea. Sent to the notorious labor camp Yodok when he was nine years old, Kang observed frequent public executions and endured forced labor and near-starvation rations for ten years. In 1992, he escaped to South Korea, where he found God and now advocates for human rights in North Korea. Part horror story, part historical document, part memoir, part political tract, this book brings together unassailable firsthand experience, setting one young man's personal suffering in the wider context of modern history, giving eyewitness proof to the abuses perpetrated by the North Korean regime.

When George W. Bush took office in 2001, North Korea's nuclear program was frozen and Kim Jong Il had signaled he was ready to negotiate. Today, North Korea possesses as many as ten nuclear warheads, and possibly the means to provide nuclear material to rogue states or terrorist groups. How did this happen? Drawing on more than two hundred interviews with key players in Washington, Seoul, Tokyo, and Beijing, including Colin Powell, John Bolton, and ex–Korean president Kim Dae-jung, as well as insights gained during fourteen trips to Pyongyang, Mike Chinoy takes readers behind the scenes of secret diplomatic meetings, disputed intelligence reports, and Washington turf battles as well as inside the mysterious world of North Korea. Meltdown provides a wealth of new material about a previously opaque series of events that eventually led the Bush administration to abandon confrontation and pursue negotiations, and explains how the diplomatic process collapsed and produced the crisis the Obama administration confronts today.

Tiefe Einblicke in ein verstörendes Land Nordkorea ist das isolierteste Land der Erde. Wenige Nachrichten dringen aus dem vom Kim-Clan diktatorisch regierten Staat nach außen, und wenn, dann sind es meist Negativschlagzeilen: Nahrungsmittelknappheit, Menschenrechtsverletzungen, brutale Straflager, Atomwaffenversuche, Waffenhandel, Streit mit Südkorea. Die völlige ideologische Gleichschaltung wird von der Bevölkerung augenscheinlich klaglos hingenommen. Rüdiger Frank ist weltweit einer der wenigen Kenner Nordkoreas, seit vielen Jahren besucht er das Land regelmäßig. Er beschreibt die Machtstrukturen und die wirtschaftlichen Verhältnisse, das Geschichtsverständnis und den Alltag. Aus seiner langen Erfahrung berichtet er aber auch von den Veränderungen, die er in den letzten Jahren beobachten konnte, und versucht eine für uns unbegreifliche Gesellschaft ein wenig begreiflicher zu machen.

North Korea today is one of the last bastions of hard-line Communism. Until recently, no one ever managed to leave the country. No organized, active opposition movement exists, either at home or abroad. Western historians and researchers have had little access to information about North Korea apart from official Party documents and propaganda. This book marks the first time that a victim of the regime, a survivor and escapee, has provided a personal and documented insight into the labor camps, the organized famine, the farcical trials, the repression, and the political conditioning within this "hermit kingdom."Kang Chol-Hwan was arrested at the age of nine along with other members of his family when his grandfather made remarks about life in a capitalist country that were judged to be too complimentary. He grew up in the camps and has escaped to South Korea to document his personal life as a testimonial to the hardships and atrocities that constitute the lives of some several hundred thousand people living in the gulag today. Kang's account of his internment reveals the life-and-death conditions of the camp, the relentless forced labor, and the mental repression that drove the two hours of daily "political training" that followed twelve hours of backbreaking work. His memoir documents the political bartering of food and the "ideological" uses of malnutrition. Part horror story, part historical document, part memoir, part political tract, this book brings together unassailable firsthand experience, setting one young man's personal suffering in the wider context of modern history.

In January of 1965, twenty-four-year-old U.S. Army sergeant Charles Robert Jenkins abandoned his post in South Korea, walked across the DMZ, and surrendered to communist North Korean soldiers standing sentry along the world's most heavily militarized border. He believed his action would get him back to the States and a short jail sentence. Instead he found himself in another sort of prison, where for forty years he suffered under one of the most brutal and repressive regimes the world has known. This fast-paced, harrowing tale, told plainly and simply by Jenkins (with journalist Jim Frederick), takes the reader behind the North Korean curtain and reveals the inner workings of its isolated society while offering a powerful testament to the human spirit.

'North Korea will collapse soon'. Dieser Satz stammt von Kim Jong-Nam, dem ältesten Sohn des im Dezember 2011 verstorbenen ehemaligen nordkoreanischen Machthabers Kim Jong-Il. Das Bemerkenswerte ist jedoch nicht der Inhalt dieser Äußerung, sondern vielmehr die Tatsache, dass der Satz aus einer nordkoreanischen Quelle stammt. Westliche Beobachter sagen schließlich schon lange die Implosion dieses politisch oftmals ebenso rätselhaft wie unberechenbar agierenden Staates voraus. Beispielhaft hierfür können die Äußerungen des deutschen Politikwissenschaftlers Hanns W. Maull angeführt werden, der 2009 wiederholt auf den akuten politischen sowie wirtschaftlichen Reformbedarf Nordkoreas hinwies, da der nordkoreanische Staat, laut Maull, nicht länger überlebensfähig sei. Fakt ist, dass beide angeführten Zitate zwei Gemeinsamkeiten aufweisen: Sie sind erstens inhaltlich weder neu, noch sind sie zweitens bisher Realität geworden. Folglich drängt sich in diesem Zusammenhang unweigerlich die Frage auf, wie stabil dieses einzigartige, totalitäre politische System tatsächlich noch ist. Das vorliegende Buch beschäftigt sich daher mit der Thematik der Systemstabilität und den sich daraus ergebenden zukünftigen Überlebenschancen des Staates Nordkorea. Zur Beantwortung der existenziellen Frage in Bezug auf das weitere Fortbestehen des in der Vergangenheit schon oftmals totgesagten nordkoreanischen Patienten werden eine innenpolitische und eine außenpolitische Analyseebene angewandt. Demzufolge setzt sich der Autor sowohl mit elementaren innenpolitischen Faktoren, wie z.B. der Jahrzehnte andauernden, omnipräsenten ideologischen Durchdringung der nordkoreanischen Bevölkerung und den zaghaften ökonomischen Liberalisierungen im Anschluss an die (vorerst) letzte große Hungerkatastrophe 1998 auseinander, als auch mit bedeutenden außenpolitischen Einflussfaktoren wie den überlebensnotwendigen und zugleich äußerst ambivalenten Außenbeziehungen zwischen Pjöngjang und seinen wichtigsten Hilfslieferanten in Peking, Seoul und Washington. Darüber hinaus wird das nordkoreanische Atomprogramm hinsichtlich seiner Funktion als hocheffektives Erpressungsinstrument für den fortlaufenden Erhalt von internationalen humanitären Hilfsmaßnahmen untersucht. Abschließend begründet der Autor anhand der beiden dargelegten Analyseebenen die Überlebenschancen des gegenwärtigen politischen Systems Nordkoreas und weist auf mögliche Gefahrenpotenziale diesbezüglich hin.
