The Great Successor is an irreverent yet insightful quest to
understand the life of Kim Jong Un, one of the world's most
secretive dictators. Kim's life is swathed in myth and propaganda,
from the plainly silly--he supposedly ate so much Swiss cheese that
his ankles gave way--to the grimly bloody stories of the ways his
enemies and rival family members have perished at his command. One
of the most knowledgeable journalists on modern Korea, Anna Fifield
has exclusive access to Kim's aunt and uncle who posed as his
parents while he was growing up in Switzerland, members of the
entourage that accompanied Dennis Rodman on his quasi-ambassadorial
visits with Kim, and the Japanese sushi chef whom Kim befriended
and who was the first outsider to identify him as the inevitable
successor to his father as supreme ruler. She has been able to
create a captivating portrait of the oddest and most isolated
political regime in the world, one that is broken yet able to
summon a US president for peace talks, bankrupt yet in possession
of nuclear weapons. Kim Jong Un; ridiculous but deadly, and a man
of our times.
