Andrei Lankov has gone where few outsiders have ever been. A native of the former Soviet Union he lived as an exchange student in North Korea in the 1980s. He has studied it for his entire career using his fluency in Korean & personal contacts to build a rich nuanced understanding. In The Real North Korea Lankov substitutes cold clear analysis for the overheated rhetoric surrounding this opaque police state. After providing an accessible history of the nation he turns his focus to what North Korea is what its leadership thinks & how its people cope with living in such an oppressive & poor place. He argues that North Korea is not irrational & nothing shows this better than its continuing survival against all odds. A living political fossil it clings to existence in the face of limited resources & a zombie economy manipulating great powers despite its weakness. Its leaders are not ideological zealots or madmen but perhaps the best practitioners of Machiavellian politics that can be found in the modern world. Even though they preside over a failed state they have successfully used diplomacy-including nuclear threats-to extract support from other nations. But while the people in charge have been ruthless & successful in holding on to power Lankov goes on to argue that this cannot continue forever since the old system is slowly falling apart. In the long run with or without reform the regime is unsustainable. Lankov contends that reforms if attempted will trigger a dramatic implosion of the regime. They will not prolong its existence. Based on vast expertise this book reveals how average North Koreans live how their leaders rule & how both survive. ...

The mistreatment & captivity of women by the Japanese is a little known & poorly documented aspect of the Second World War. In The Real Tenko Mark Felton who has a fast growing reputation as an authority & author on the war in the Far East redresses this omission with a typically well researched yet necessarily gruesome account of the plight of Allied service-women female civilians & local women in Japanese hands. Among the atrocities shamefully committed by the Emperors forces were numerous massacres of nurses; that at Alexandra Hospital Singapore being perhaps the best known. The lack of respect for their defeated enemies extended in full measure to both European & Asian women & their vulnerability was all too often shockingly exploited. Those who found themselves imprisoned fared little better & suffered appalling indignities & starvation. Also covered are the hardships of gruelling marches under extreme conditions. Whereas the sexual enslavement of so called Comfort Women has been regarded as affecting only Asiatic women it transpires that this horror was experienced by whites as well. The Real Tenko is a disturbing & shocking testimony both to the callous & cruel behaviour of the Japanese & to the courage & fortitude of those who suffered at their hands. ...
