An Amazon Charts Most Read and Most Sold book. The harrowing true
story of one man's life in-and subsequent escape from-North Korea,
one of the world's most brutal totalitarian regimes. Half-Korean,
half-Japanese, Masaji Ishikawa has spent his whole life feeling
like a man without a country. This feeling only deepened when his
family moved from Japan to North Korea when Ishikawa was just
thirteen years old, and unwittingly became members of the lowest
social caste. His father, himself a Korean national, was lured to
the new Communist country by promises of abundant work, education
for his children, and a higher station in society. But the reality
of their new life was far from utopian. In this memoir translated
from the original Japanese, Ishikawa candidly recounts his
tumultuous upbringing and the brutal thirty-six years he spent
living under a crushing totalitarian regime, as well as the
challenges he faced repatriating to Japan after barely escaping
North Korea with his life. A River in Darkness is not only a
shocking portrait of life inside the country but a testament to the
dignity-and indomitable nature-of the human spirit.
