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.

From Stephen's list on to understand the DPRK.
