About this product

Product Information

'I beseech you to read this account' - Christopher Hitchens A magnificent, harrowing testimony to the voiceless victims of North Korea. Kang Chol-Hwan is the first survivor of a North Korean concentration camp to escape the 'hermit kingdom' and tell his story to the world. This memoir reveals the human suffering in his camp, with its forced labour, frequent public executions and near-starvation rations. Kang eventually escaped to South Korea via China to give testimony to the hardships and atrocities that constitute the lives of the thousands of people still detained in the gulags today. Part horror story, part historical document, part memoir, part political tract, this story of one young man's personal suffering finally gives eye-witness proof to this neglected chapter of modern history.

    A third book from this seller - or another with the same business address - to have got lost or been returned in just one month. However, a full refund has been given, so can't really grumble. Annoyingly, this book was a real bargain and I will now have to pay at least twice the price to purchase!

    The book arrived quickly and package was not damaged.But it was not in "very good" condition as described.Some of the pages were stained from a liquid spillage.So maybe they too look at their descriptions a bit more.
