Product Information
North Korea is a country where everyone is thought to worship a power-crazed dictator, where disputes with neighboring South Korea frequently break out into violence, where nuclear bombs are detonated with alarming regularity, and where most people are assumed to be on the verge of starvation. But is this an accurate view of daily life in North Korea today? Read this book to find out. In seven fascinating chapters the authors explore what life is really like for ordinary North Koreans. They tap a broad variety of sources--from interviews with members of Pyongyang's ruling elite to defectors, diplomats, NGOs and cross-border traders, as well as written accounts in English, Korean and Chinese-to bring together a radically different view of North Korean society today. NORTH KOREA CONFIDENTIAL - North Korea sentences presidents and journalists at two South Korean newspapers to death .... Story is reported by The Associated Press, New York Times, Washington Post, Newsweek, Reuters, Foreign Policy, Daily Beast, NK News , and many other publications. "The North didn't directly threaten the British authors of North Korea Confidential: Private Markets, Fashion Trends, Prison Camps, Dissenters and Defectors , but said the book 'viciously defamed and distorted' the country's realities." -- New York Times (AP) " One of the most informative and contemporary books to be released on North Korea.. ." --Asia Society

" North Korea Confidential , by James Pearson and Daniel Tudor, says that nearly all North Koreans lead a 'double economic life', supplementing measly rations and puny state wages of as little as $1 a month with extra work in their spare time." - The Economist, " North Korea Confidential presents a good look at how North Korea really functions, not from the perspective of its nuclear bombs and missiles, but for the everyday person who has to use the black market to survive." - Andrei Lankov, author of The Real North Korea: Life and Politics in the Failed Stalinist Utopia and The Dawn of Modern Korea, "Dispelling the myth of a brainwashed populace is one of the main goals of the book. Despite horrific prison camps, lack of Internet, and a national fabric called "vinylon," most people still take the risk to watch a foreign film, regularly consume South, " North Korea Confidential , by James Pearson and Daniel Tudor, says that nearly all North Koreans lead a 'double economic life', supplementing measly rations and puny state wages of as little as $1 a month with extra work in their spare time." ̵, In a new book that the authors say aims to document 'North Korea, the country' rather than 'North Korea, the state,' two journalists -Daniel Tudor, former correspondent for the Economist in Seoul, and James pearson, currently a Reuters reporter in|9780804844581|, In a new book that the authors say aims to document 'North Korea, the country' rather than 'North Korea, the state,' two journalists --Daniel Tudor, former correspondent for the Economist in Seoul, and James Pearson, currently a Reuters reporter in Seoul--tap a wide range of sources to describe the lives of ordinary North Koreans. -- Wall Street Journal|9780804844581|, "If you are a North Korea watcher or simply curious about the country, it's definitely worth a read. Because what is really happening inside the country rarely makes the headlines." - Korea Herald, North Korea Confidential , by James Pearson and Daniel Tudor, says that nearly all North Koreans lead a 'double economic life,' supplementing measly rations and puny state wages of as little as $1 a month with extra work in their spare time. -- The Economist, "...it is refreshing to find a book that neither obsesses excessively over the nuclear issue nor treats the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) as simply a bad joke or the world's most irrational place." - Andrei Lankov, Reason, " North Korea Confidential presents a good look at how North Korea really functions, not from the perspective of its nuclear bombs and missiles, but for the everyday person who has to use the black market to survive." 𔃋 Andrei Lankov, author of The Real North Korea: Life and Politics in the Failed Stalinist Utopia and The Dawn of Modern Korea, "...it challenges our preconceptions about North Korea by confronting them with inside information attained from defectors, NGO workers, Pyongyang officials, diplomats, traders, and more." - DailyNK, "Tudor and Pearson's timely book goes a long way to counter the lazy stereotypes that provide the staple of global commentary on North Korea. This beautifully-written account of daily life shows that North Koreans of every age routinely bypass government restrictions as they participate on a day-to-day basis in self-interested market-driven activities. Young North Koreans watch South Korean movies, listen to KPop, copy of South Koreans fashions and like young people everywhere, find ways to meet up with partners outside of the restrictions of parental supervision. The authors do not minimise the authoritarian nature of the North Korea state but they make a hugely important contribution in taking seriously the difference between government policy and the reality of daily life. This book is a must read." - Hazel Smith, North Korea expert, In a new book that the authors say aims to document 'North Korea, the country' rather than 'North Korea, the state,' two journalists --Daniel Tudor, former correspondent for the Economist in Seoul, and James pearson, currently a Reuters reporter in|9780804844581|, ...it is refreshing to find a book that neither obsesses excessively over the nuclear issue nor treats the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) as simply a bad joke or the world's most irrational place. -- Andrei Lankov, Reason, Tudor and Pearson's timely book goes a long way to counter the lazy stereotypes that provide the staple of global commentary on North Korea.

Pearson's and Tudor's extensive research draws on a range of sources to analyze aspects of North Korean society that are so often hidden from view.

A must-read for anyone seeking to understand this little-known country beyond the headlines." - Hannah Song, CEO of Liberty in North Korea (LiNK), "Dispelling the myth of a brainwashed populace is one of the main goals of the book. Despite horrific prison camps, lack of Internet, and a national fabric called "vinylon," most people still take the risk to watch a foreign film, regularly consume South Korea pop culture, party, and even argue with the police." - The Daily Beast, "James and Daniel have shown that we don't have to rely on intelligence leaks and disinformation in trying to fathom out North Korea. There is solid information out there, which they have brought together and augmented with solid personal insights and first-hand information, and worked into a readable and informative guide to real life in the DPRK. It's a useful addition to a small number of good modern works on North Korea." - Martin Uden, former British ambassador to South Korea, and former head of the United Nations Panel of Experts on the DPRK, "Through a variety of sources, from the citizens of Pyongyang to defectors from different periods and regions, to former diplomats and NGOs with years of experience in the country, to cross-border traders from neighboring China, the book is an informative guide to real life in the isolated country." - Asia Society, "North Korea Confidential...uses extensive interviews with recent defectors and people still in the country to build a rich picture of daily life there." - Financial Times, "...the authors - Pearson, who speaks Chinese and Korean and who nearly became a spook for the Royal Navy, and Tudor whose "Korea: The Impossible Country" may be the best-selling non-fiction tome on Korea - have delivered a potentially game-changing read." - Andrew Salmon, The Korea Times, "...it is refreshing to find a book that neither obsesses excessively over the nuclear issue nor treats the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) as simply a bad joke or the world's most irrational place." -- Andrei Lankov, Reason, "This book is a fascinating insight into the DPRK by two leading British journalists.
