A review by lauraanntull
A River in Darkness: One Man's Escape from North Korea by Masaji Ishikawa
5.0
Important read for freedom
This book is a necessary read. We America could become North Korea if we forget our values and allow a despot to take control. I think high school kids should read this to understand the dangers of a chaste system and the dangers of a totalitarian regime. North Korea was not socialist. It was a dictatorship and still is. What is devastating is how people with power in China & Japan and the world could look the other way and do nothing. Money and power dictate morality and not what is right.
