(See photo 4) "The Truth of North Korea's Kim Dynasty" By Ryo Hagiwara List price: ¥760 After Kim Jong-il's sudden death, the Kim dynasty is attempting to pass on dictatorial power to a third generation under the watchful eye of the world. The author, who stayed in Pyongyang as a special correspondent for the Japanese Communist Party, which had friendly relations with North Korea, pursued the deep darkness of North Korea throughout his life after being suspected of being a spy for speaking Korean and nearly being killed. This book exposes the madness of Kim Jong-il, who realized he could only survive by killing Kim Il-sung! How did this distorted dictatorial system, which cannot be accepted by the world, come into being? What are the reasons for relentlessly pursuing military buildup under the name of "Songun politics"? Through what process was power inherited from grandfather to father to son, and by what mechanism has it been maintained? What will happen to North Korea, which is on the brink of starvation? The horror of Kim Jong-il, driven by a lust for power, driving a nation to ruin in madness, emerges from this examination. This is an urgent publication that clearly explains the contradiction of North Korea, which was not such an abnormal country before, falling to become the world's poorest nation while pursuing cutting-edge nuclear armament. #RyoHagiwara #Hagiwara_Ryo #Book #Society/Politics/Military #Shodensha #Shinsho
