North Korea Confidential: Private Markets, Fashion Trends, Prison Camps, Dissenters and Defectors by Daniel Tudor, James Pearson

4.0

This is a fairly comprehensive, factual book about North Korea since the '90s famine, told in a completely unemotional, objective way, leaving out personal stories (except for the odd reference to information taken from defectors). I personally prefer more personal stories, but it does what it set out to do well, covering a wide variety of aspects, and I kinda appreciated its level-headedness. It will certainly not be my only source of information about the country, though.
