Paul France has tried to write one of the most mysterious societies in the world. Apart from the fear of the media often threatening its nuclear weapons, this society is still very unknown to the public. The task seems almost impossible to accomplish, but the authors have collected a large amount of data and evidence of numerous deficiencies from a number of North Korean research centers, including some who were previously in the long history of the Golden Brothers: founder, Kim Il -sung, his son, Kim Jong Il and his grandson Kim Jong-un. The result was a fairly comprehensive but rather outdated investigation into the political and economic status of a failed state plagued by its ideology and the need to preserve its ruled dynasty without error.
The most inspiring part of the book is the analysis of Zhu Xi, a unique mixture of Korean Marxist-Leninist ideology, with Chairman Mao's thoughts, Confucianism, Korean traditional attributes, and the struggle against Japanese liberation. Attitude. In practice, it helps to maintain Kim's rule and prioritizes the needs of the military. The fact that the subject has clearly penetrated into the Korean society is the main factor preventing any serious political challenge to the status quo. The government has done its utmost to stop understanding South Korea's prosperity north of the 38th parallel and has persuaded generations of citizens that their continued poverty is by no means a ruler or a fault of their policies.
Although the book first appeared in 2014 and was re-released and revised in 2015, it gives the impression that it is ten years old. The date of North Korea's internal affairs will not appear after 2003, although some US military deployments will be explained before 2013. This may be due to the inevitable delay of any facts that arise in a closed society, but some confirmation of this may help the reader defend the historical context.
According to the blurring on the back of the book, one critic found that Paul France's wrists were witty, eloquent and rare in definition. ' This is a generous view of the author's performance. Writing is the official style of reporting, humor is not a function, but the text is full of acronyms [about 120 listed], and many foreign names will always be fluent. The edit is incomplete and the remainder of the author's revised draft survives in the published text. Given that its content is inevitably outdated, there seems to be no reason to rush to print this book.
