What is life in North Korea really like? This fascinating book by
celebrated journalists Daniel Tudor and James Pearson explores that
very question. The authors interview experts and tap a broad
variety of sources to provide a startling insider's view of the
secretive North Korean society, including: Members of Pyongyang's
ruling families Defectors from different periods and regions
Foreign diplomats and NGOs with years of experience in the country
Cross-border traders from neighboring China Textual accounts
appearing in English, Korean and Chinese sources This book reveals
that ordinary North Koreans, poor and rich alike, enjoy listening
to K-pop music and are addicted to South Korean TV dramas--in
direct contravention of government dictates. Pirated foreign movies
and shows--American, South Korean and Chinese--are often smuggled
into the country and sold. Such snippets of information help the
reader understand that North Korea is undergoing dynamic changes,
affecting the 24 million people who call it home. This new edition
is updated with an afterword by the authors that touches on Kim
Jong-un's recent meetings with Donald Trump and Moon Jae-in. While
the new foreword by Andray Abrahamian--a member of the U.S.
National Committee on North Korea--offers a detailed analysis of
North Korea's political discourse, changes in economic policy, and
the rise and fall of optimism within the country since 2018.
