Introducing the incredible story of Shin Dong-hyuk - the only person born in a North Korean gulag ever to escape ...

Recenzje

This is a story unlike any other because Shin is one of the few, if not only, long-term prisoners to have escaped from the North Korean gulag . . . More so than any other book on North Korea, including my own, Escape from Camp 14 exposes the cruelty that is the underpinning of Kim Jong Il's regime. Blaine Harden, a veteran foreign correspondent from The Washington Post, tells this story masterfully . . . The integrity of this book, shines through on every page. Barbara Demick, author of Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea
