## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Unique perspective about Kim jong-il
  

*by A***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 August 2019*

This is quite a unique book about Kim jong-il (not the current leader, which is Kim jong-un).The author has used contacts from North Korean defectors that interacted directly with the dictator and his inner circle. He comes across as a spoilt child in his younger years that had tunnel vision for one thing...power.He was utterly ruthless with no regard to anyone other than what he wants all the time. He ends up trying to buy friendship by giving expensive gifts at personal parties and changing his mind on a whim that gets others killed, tortured or at the very best demoted.On the one hand he is exceptional at controlling everything...on the other he is wildly unpredictable with many faces depending on who you are and situation you are in with him.This book examines these perspectives to try and give an insight into this complex, spoilt, lonely power hungry little man. It explains why North Korea is so messed up....it all boils down to this one individual being utterly selfish. Power corrupts indeed,It’s a very good book, interesting reading and the author has years of connections to insiders that have told their story. We’ll never find out the true stories but this book may answer some questions you ask yourself about jong-il.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Most illuminating.
  

*by R***Y on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 January 2016*

I very informative and readable biography of the life of a man shrouded in myth. This book relies heavily on the testimony of defectors, many close to the Kim family, giving an overview of Kim Jong Il's political career and family life. It also uses a number of public speeches and statements by both Kim Jong Il and Kim Il Sung, over all very enlightening.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Excellent
  

*by J***P on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 April 2012*

Ive read more than 30 books on North Korea and this offers fresh insight from the North Korean perspective that I had not found in any other book. Some events which had been barely touched in other books are clearly and convincingly explained here. A worthy addition to a set of books which are certainly of variable quality as a range. Recommended!
