Why read it?

1 author picked In North Korea as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Strong was a US journalist who reported on Communist movements for 40 years, beginning in the 1920s. In 1949 she travelled to Korea to report on the birth of the new North Korean state. I love this book because it offers an on-the-ground view of why the state was created and what its founders were trying to accomplish—invaluable for understanding the country today.

From Stephen's list on to understand the DPRK.
