The Cleanest Race: How North Koreans See Themselves and Why It Matters
★★★★★Read Apr 15, 2013
Interesting read on internal North Korea propaganda and what it tells us about the mindset of the country's leaders. Terrifying, of course, particularly the "we are a noble pure race" stuff derived from japanese facism. The book itself is not as well written as I hoped, but the research is great and the material and perspective are unique.
