This book tells the story of the fighter pilot, No Kum Sok, who for years pretended to worship The Great Leader and the regime in order to buy his ticket to freedom.
What’s interesting about this book aside from No’s personal story is the chronicled rise of Kim Il Sung and and the accounts of the Korean War.
It reads like a thriller, like a good fiction book yet it’s the recounting of true events, I guess that’s the most fascinating part for me.
It was a different story from the ones I’m usually used to read about North Korean defectors but still a very interesting and insightful perspective.
