Descriptive account of the recent history of North Korea under Kim Jong Il. Covers the huge famines of the mid to late 1990s (3.5 million deaths estimated), and considers why these went largely unacknowledged in the international arena. Looks at the Kim dynasty and how and why they isolated the country. Describes the economic collapse of the state and its leader's desire to develop nuclear weapons, and assesses the different approaches that other countries and the UN have adopted in dealing with the DPRK and the threat it poses.
