Produktinformationen zu „Long Road Home “
Kim Yong shares a brutal account of life in a labor camp-a singularly despairing form of torture carried out by the secret state. Although gulags are known to exist in North Korea, little information is available about their organization and conduct, since prisoners rarely escape both the camps and the country alive. Long Road Home shares the remarkable story of one such survivor, a former military official who spent six years in a hellish coal camp and witnessed firsthand the activities of Kim Jong-il's unconscionable regime.

Rezension zu „Long Road Home “
Kim gives us a marvellously unsympathetic portrait of a brain-washed apparatchik. -- Christian Oliver Financial Times 8/23/09 [Kim's] dispassionate account of how one man endured the unendurable offers a clue as to how such extreme inhumanity can occur. -- Donald Richie Japan Times 10/11/09 A reminder of the brutality of the North Korean regime. -- John Feffer Korean Quarterly 1/1/10
