Dear Leader: Poet, Spy, Escapee--A Look Inside North Korea

THE STORY THEY COULDN'T HACK: In this rare insiderâ€™s view into contemporary North Korea, a high-ranking counterintelligence agent describes his life as a former poet laureate to Kim Jong-il and his breathtaking escape to freedom.

â€œThe General will now enter the room.â€

Everyone turns to stone. Not moving my head, I direct my eyes to a point halfway up the archway where Kim Jong-ilâ€™s face will soon appearâ€¦

As North Koreaâ€™s State Poet Laureate, Jang Jin-sung led a charmed life. With food provisions (even as the country suffered through its great famine), a travel pass, access to strictly censored information, and audiences with Kim Jong-il himself, his life in Pyongyang seemed safe and secure. But this privileged existence was about to be shattered. When a strictly forbidden magazine he lent to a friend goes missing, Jang Jin-sung must flee for his life.

Never before has a member of the elite described the inner workings of this totalitarian state and its propaganda machine. An astonishing exposÃ© told through the heart-stopping story of Jang Jin-sungâ€™s escape to South Korea, Dear Leader is a rare and unprecedented insight into the worldâ€™s most secretive and repressive regime.
