About this listen
Understanding North Korea Through the Eyes of Defectors
The weekly column Ask a North Korean, published by NK News, invites readers from around the world to pose questions to North Korean defectors. By way of these fascinating interviews, the North Koreans themselves provide authentic firsthand testimonies about what is happening inside the "Hermit Kingdom."
North Korean contributors to this book include:
- "Seong" who came to South Korea after dropping out during his final year of his university. He is now training to be an elementary school teacher.
- "Kang" who left North Korea in 2005. He now lives in London, England.
- "Cheol" who was from South Hamgyeong in North Korea and is now a second-year university student in Seoul.
- "Park" worked and studied in Pyongyang before defecting to the U.S. in 2011. He is now studying at a U.S. college.
This book sheds critical light on all aspects of North Korean politics and society and shows that even in the world's most authoritarian regime, life goes on in ways that are very different from what you may think.

Good information on NK
I have an interest in what life is like under oppressive regimes and have read a number of stories from NK defectors. This book is different in that it goes topic by topic and includes a compilation of voices that gives a range of experiences.
It is mostly quite current, dealing with the new young dictator and some of the more recent nuclear weapon development of the regime and relations with US.
May not be as interesting for those looking for a story, but is a fascinating book for those looking for insider/defector views of NK. I would recommend.

Worst Narrator Ever.
I’m so sad to say the narration of this fell so flat, on such an incredible account of life in NK. He sounds like he should be working an infomercial or a low quality YouTube skit... I implore you to have someone else read this title, had a clicked “preview” before buying I probably wouldn’t have bought. Damn I’ll read it for free if you want! Horrible!!!

Fascinating!
Very very interesting indepth view into everyday life for the average person in Norrh Korea.Some glimpses into the life of the elite.Sounds as though the average person is not as taken with the supreme leader as he would have the workd believe!
