With a New Foreword The heartwrenching New York Times bestseller
about the only known person born inside a North Korean prison camp
to have escaped. North Korea's political prison camps have existed
twice as long as Stalin's Soviet gulags and twelve times as long as
the Nazi concentration camps. No one born and raised in these camps
is known to have escaped. No one, that is, except Shin Dong-hyuk.
In Escape From Camp 14, Blaine Harden unlocks the secrets of the
world's most repressive totalitarian state through the story of
Shin's shocking imprisonment and his astounding getaway. Shin knew
nothing of civilized existence-he saw his mother as a competitor
for food, guards raised him to be a snitch, and he witnessed the
execution of his mother and brother. The late "Dear Leader" Kim
Jong Il was recognized throughout the world, but his country
remains sealed as his third son and chosen heir, Kim Jong Eun,
consolidates power. Few foreigners are allowed in, and few North
Koreans are able to leave. North Korea is hungry, bankrupt, and
armed with nuclear weapons. It is also a human rights catastrophe.
Between 150,000 and 200,000 people work as slaves in its political
prison camps. These camps are clearly visible in satellite
photographs, yet North Korea's government denies they exist.
Harden's harrowing narrative exposes this hidden dystopia, focusing
on an extraordinary young man who came of age inside the highest
security prison in the highest security state. Escape from Camp 14
offers an unequalled inside account of one of the world's darkest
nations. It is a tale of endurance and courage, survival and hope.
