Dear Leader contains astonishing new insights about North Korea
which could only be revealed by someone working high up in the
regime. It is also the gripping story of how a member of the inner
circle of this enigmatic country became its most courageous,
outspoken critic. Jang Jin-sung held one of the most senior ranks
in North Korea's propaganda machine, helping tighten the regime's
grip over its people. Among his tasks were developing the founding
myth of North Korea, posing undercover as a South Korean
intellectual and writing epic poems in support of the dictator, Kim
Jong-il. Young and ambitious, his patriotic work secured him a
bizarre audience with Kim Jong-il himself, thus granting him
special status as one of the 'Admitted'. This meant special food
provisions, a travel pass and immunity from prosecution and harm.
He was privy to state secrets, including military and diplomatic
policies, how the devastating 'Scrutiny' was effected, and the real
position of one of the country's most powerful, elusive men, Im
Tong-ok. Because he was praised by the Dear Leader himself, he had
every reason to feel satisfied with his lot and safe. Yet he could
not ignore his conscience, or the disparity between his life and
that of those he saw starving on the street. After breaking
security rules, Jang Jin-sung, together with a close friend, was
forced to flee for his life: away from lies and deceit, towards
truth and freedom.
