"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 Part horror story, part historical document, part memoir, part political tract, this book brings together unassailable firsthand experience, setting one young man's personal suffering in the wider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.

'I beseech you to read this account' - Christopher Hitchens A magnificent, harrowing testimony to the voiceless victims of North Korea. Kang Chol-Hwan is the first survivor of a North Korean concentration camp to escape the 'hermit kingdom' and tell his story to the world. This memoir reveals the human suffering in his camp, with its forced labour, frequent public executions and near-starvation rations. Kang eventually escaped to South Korea via China to give testimony to the hardships and atrocities that constitute the lives of the thousands of people still detained in the gulags today. Part horror story, part historical document, part memoir, part political tract, this story of one young man's personal suffering finally gives eye-witness proof to this neglected chapter of modern history.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 In the 1960s, North Korea’s disaster was not yet on the horizon. In economic terms, the country was neck and neck with the South, and in Pyongyang, the regime’s privileged showcase, it seemed the Party’s talk of triumph and promise might actually be true. #2 I had fond memories of my time at the School of the People, a grammar school in Pyongyang. Despite their adherence to communist educational methods, almost all the teachers were attentive and patient with their pupils. #3 In North Korea, the education of the revolution’s soldiers was a top priority. We were taught about the morals of communism and the history of the Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il regime. We were never asked to do anything too difficult. #4 My family was better off than most, living in a newly built neighborhood that was exceptionally quiet and verdant. We had a refrigerator, washing machine, vacuum cleaner, and a color television set.

1977, Pyongyang, capitale de la Corée du Nord. Kang Chol-hwan vit avec sa famille dans un quartier aisé de la ville. Il a neuf ans. A l'école, on lui explique que le Grand Leader assure la puissance et l'autonomie du pays contre les "marionnettes impérialistes de Séoul". Ses grands-parents sont favorables au régime de Kim II-sung ; le grand-père a même légué sa fortune au Parti du travail. Pourtant, le vieil homme disparaît. Peu après, le reste de la famille est arrêté et interné au camp de Yodok, sans explication. Commence alors un calvaire qui durera dix ans, le temps de l'adolescence pour Kang Chol-hwan. Animé par une colère qui ne l'a jamais quitté, il fait le terrible récit de l'enfer organisé. Enfants ou adultes, tous sont soumis au même régime : travail forcé, surveillance continue, bourrage de crâne, humiliation systématique, punitions sauvages... Mais aussi la faim, le froid et leur cortège de maladies. C'est, en Occident, le premier témoignage sur l'univers concentrationnaire nord-coréen, les coulisses du décor ubuesque et mensonger planté par un Etat mégalomane et tyrannique. Alors que la misère et la corruption rongent ce dernier bastion du stalinisme, Kang Chol-hwan dénonce d'une voix simple et intransigeante les méfaits d'une propagande cramponnée à une idéologie meurtrière.

In the first decade of the 21st century, few national security challenges facing the United States is as vexing as that posed by North Korea. It is a paradox because it appears to be a very powerful state-possessing the world's fourth largest armed forces, a sizeable arsenal of ballistic missiles, and a worrying nuclear program-but it is also an economic basket case in terms of agricultural output, industrial production, and foreign trade exports. Virtually every aspect of the Pyongyang regime is mysterious and puzzling. In short, North Korea is difficult for Americans to understand and analyze, beginning with confusion about what kind of political system North Korea has and what kind of man leads it. The author explores Pyongyang's political dynamics and seeks to shed light on the political system of North Korea and its leader.

Nuclear Showdown published by Asia expert, Gordon Chang, was of the first books to exploire the full extent of the North Korean nuclear threat, its origins, international implications, and solutions. The United States is the mightiest nation in history, yet for six decades one of the world's weakest states has challenged the superpower and kept it at bay. Today, that country also threatens to change the course of human events with an act of unimaginable devastation. Nuclear Showdown analyses the failed society that has become the gravest threat to America and international order: North Korea. Chang's insightful book reveals the full horror of the crisis threatening to turn Asia into the world's next battleground. How can North Korea be stopped? No one seems to have an answer. For more than half a century, policymakers have failed when it comes to subjugating Kim Il Sung and his son, Kim Jong Il. Nuclear Showdown proposes a solution that can defuse the standoff once and for all.
