Review # 1 was written on 2018-11-26 00:00:00 Victor Hernandez Sloppy mix of impressions, anecdotes, and bits gleaned from the press not a good book or good source for DPRK Alot of the book seems to be along the lines of, heres what it might have been like at some time, supposedly this thing was trending, or such and such cost so much. Kinda dubious, not really history.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-08-30 00:00:00 Audrea Bettineschi A thorough analysis of the history of North Korea and enjoyable read. This book does get bogged down in details towards the middle (especially when covering the North's economy). The author does seem to go back and forth as to whether he blames the US for the North's current nuclearization efforts. Towards the end of the book, he does mention Russian and Chinese actions as a possible motivation for Kim's nuclear program (which is more realistic than placing the blame entirely on Bush for backing out of the 1994 Framework Agreement).
