A Bare Bones History
James Friend: North Korea

Since its birth as a nation in 1948, North Korea has been ruled over by three generations of one brutal family. Kim Il Sung wasted little time before plunging the country into a futile war which cost more than two million people their lives. His son, Kim Jong Il, would wallow in obscene luxury as North Korea suffered one of the Twentieth Century’s most terrible famines.

Kim Jong Un has only recently ascended to power. However, he has already ordered his own uncle’s execution by antiaircraft gun.

The North Korean people are told that they are the most fortunate in the world. In reality they are the most oppressed. North Korea is a country where criticising the government, or even watching a foreign film, can lead to imprisonment and death.

North Korea: A Bare Bones History tells the story of one of the world’s most enigmatic nations. It’s an extraordinary history of war, assassination, kidnapping, terrorism, and an attempt to decapitate a rival head of state.
