The Sister
This first book on Kim Jong Un's increasingly powerful sister, tapped to be his successor, offers jaw-dropping insights into the latest generation of North Korea's secretive and murderous dynasty. The first woman ever to issue the threat of a nuclear weapons strike is not even officially a head of state. Kim Yo Jong is the sister of North Korea's Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un and, as their murderous regime's chief propagandist, internal administrator, and foreign policymaker, she is the most powerful woman in North Korean history. Cruel but charming, she threatens and insults foreign leaders with sardonic wit, issuing proclamations and denunciations in her own name, a first for any woman in the...

De zus biedt een fascinerend inkijkje in het Noord-Koreaanse regime. Het vertelt de wrede waarheid over Kim Yo-jong en beschrijft haar hechte band met haar broer Kim Jong-un, en de lessen in manipulatie die ze van hun vader hebben geleerd. ‘Sung-Yoon Lee geeft genoeg voorbeelden die aantonen dat Yo-jong een geslepen politicus is zonder enig moreel kompas… Wie dit boek leest, krijgt één boodschap heel duidelijk mee: neem dit regime maar liever serieus.’ Elsevier Weekblad ‘Geen geruststellend verhaal.’ Sir John Scarlett, voormalig hoofd van de geheime inlichtingendienst MI6

Kim Jong Un and the Bomb
In September 2017, North Korea shocked the world by exploding the most powerful nuclear device tested anywhere in 25 years. Months earlier, it had conducted the first test flight of a missile capable of ranging much of the United States.

Today, North Korea's nuclear weapons stockpile and ballistic missile arsenal continues to grow, presenting one of the most serious challenges to international security to date. Internal regime propaganda has called North Korea's nuclear forces the country's "treasured sword," underscoring the cherished place of these weapons in national strate...
Becoming Kim Jong Un
A groundbreaking account of the rise of North Korea’s Kim Jong Un—from his nuclear ambitions to his summits with President Donald J. Trump—by a leading American expert “Shrewdly sheds light on the world’s most recognizable mysterious leader, his life and what’s really going on behind the curtain.”—Newsweek When Kim Jong Un became the leader of North Korea following his father's death in 2011, predictions about his imminent fall were rife. North Korea was isolated, poor, unable to feed its people, and clinging to its nuclear program for legitimacy.
