Sachin=GOD Posted July 17, 2014 Author Posted July 17, 2014 Can't take the words of a govt official really. The titles could've been the same for a book written by Sanjay Jha as well. Actually in case of North Korea the (very, very few) Govt officials who have managed to escape are about the only ones who can give a true picture of whats happening there. The common people who escape every year have literally no idea of the Govt. structure there while the few journalists etc who are allowed to go in are shown a completely false picture - they have at least 2 spies with them everywhere so they can't talk to anyone they are not supposed to and the meetings they do have are arranged with junior level people who are shown to be very important so they can't know who the important people are in reality. Do read that book - its really good and gives one of the clearest accounts of how the Govt./party works there.
