The first of its kind, this book provides a unique inside look into
the hidden world of ordinary North Koreans. Mike Kim, who worked
with refugees on the Chinese border for four years, recounts their
experiences of enduring famine, sex-trafficking, and torture, as
well as the inspirational stories of those who overcame tremendous
adversity to escape the repressive regime of their homeland and
make new lives. One of the few Americans granted entry into the
secretive "Hermit Kingdom," Kim came to know the isolated country
and its people intimately. His North Korean friends entrusted their
secrets to him as they revealed the government's brainwashing
tactics and confessed their true thoughts about the repressive
regime that so rigidly controls their lives. Civilians and soldiers
alike spoke of what North Koreans think of Americans and war with
America. Children remembered the suffering they endured through the
famine. Women and girls recalled their horrific experiences at the
hands of sex-traffickers. Former political prisoners shared their
memories of beatings, torture, and executions in the gulags. With
the permission of these courageous individuals, Kim now shares
their stories and recounts his dramatic experiences leading North
Koreans to asylum through the six-thousand-mile modern-day
underground railway through Asia. His unflinching narrative exposes
the truth about North Korea, stripping away the last veils that
still shroud this brutal dictatorship.
