Axis of Evil World Tour goes beyond the superficial coverage found in much of the media to bring a boots-on-the-ground look at three of the most enigmatic, difficult-to-enter countries on the planet—Iran, Iraq, and North Korea.North Korea: Visit the tense yet quiet DMZ that divides North from South, one of the eeriest places on earth. Spend time touring Pyongyang, the showcase capital that houses the regime and its elites. Travel halfway across the country to the beautiful “Heavenly Fragrance” mountain for a visit to the surreal, cult-like “museums” housing gifts to the country’s leaders, Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il. Iraq: What’s it like to live on a U.S. military base during the war in Iraq? Spend two months as part of the Iraqi Survey Group, the international team that was tasked with finding Saddam’s weapons of mass destruction. Iran: What do Iranians think of the U.S. and Americans? You might be surprised. Travel around the country and take an inside look at Khomeini’s tomb, hear about Iran’s own fight against Al Qaeda, and take a look inside the secret world of the mullahs that really run Iran.

All but closed to outside visitors and influence, its public posture guarded and combative, we see almost nothing from inside North Korea. Award-winning photographer Mark Edward Harris has had rare access to this reclusive country, traveling within its borders as well as documenting life along its northern border with China and the highly militarized DMZ dividing North and South Korea. His images are amazing: the monumental architecture and empty streets of the capital; tightly controlled zones of economic and tourist trade with South Korea; mass games featuring 100,000 choreographed participants. Short essays, extended captions, and a foreword by North Korea expert Bruce Cumings further illuminate a country increasingly at the center of international politics.

To most of the world, North Korea remains a secretive and mysterious nation, one that has tightly controlled the outflow of information in order to groom its public image. This book chronicles a rare, regime-sanctioned excursion by a North American into the heart of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. What is revealed is often what's expected, such as the adoration of leaders, excursions to national monuments, and exposure to propaganda relating to self-sufficiency. But as a Korean speaker, the author gathered a lot more information than the scripted English narration provided by his Korean guides. Behind the propaganda of the Communist regime, the authentic, eye-opening North Korea is revealed.Author: Eddie Burdick Kindle Edition: 339 pages Kindle eBook Company: McFarland (2010-05-26) (2010-05-26) List Price: $24.99 Amazon Price: 
North Korea is today one of the last bastions of hard-line Communism. Its leaders have kept a tight grasp on their one-party regime, quashing any nascent opposition movements and sending all suspected dissidents to its brutal concentration camps for "re-education." Kang Chol-hwan is the first survivor of one of these camps to escape and tell his story to the world, documenting the extreme conditions in these gulags and providing a personal insight into life in North Korea. Part horror story, part historical document, part memoir, part political tract, this record of one man's suffering gives eyewitness proof to an ongoing sorrowful chapter of modern history. New edition with a new preface by the author.

In 1987 Michael Harrold went to North Korea to work as English language adviser on translations of the speeches of the late President Kim Il Sung (the Great Leader) and his son and heir Kim Jong Il (then Dear Leader and now head of state). For seven years he lived in Pyongyang enjoying privileged access to the ruling classes and enjoying the confidence of the country’s young elite. In this fascinating insight into the culture of North Korea he describes the hospitality of his hosts, how they were shaken by the Velvet Revolution of 1989 and many of the fascinating characters he met from South Korean and American GI defectors to his Korean minder and socialite friends. After seven years and having been caught passing South Korean music tapes to friends and going out without his minder to places forbidden to foreigners, he was asked to leave the country.Author: Michael Harrold Kindle Edition: 432 pages Kindle eBook Company: John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

'The scariest place on earth.' So said President Bill Clinton on his visit to the no-man's land between South and North Korea. The minefields and barbed wire mark the jagged edge of world peace. If the world is to see a nuclear war, Korea is the likely flashpoint.The contrast between the two Koreas - the dynamism of the South confronting the oppression of the North - could not be more stark. Yet, as the author reveals, Koreans from both sides exhibit similarities of thought and perception. Both, for example, believe that to dream of pigs is to wake up rich. Books on South Korea are rare, those on North Korea even rarer. Clive Leatherdale's sharp observations and bitter-sweet experiences offer a valuable insight into a divided land and a divided people. Reviews of To Dream of Pigs: ‘Leatherdale is a seasoned traveller and prolific writer. … Alert and observant of the dying social and mores and customs of a changing Korea. … Several episodes and encounters with the opposite sex are described with breathtaking details and skill. … The book is not only delightful reading but also a valuable and original literary feat.’ The Journal of Asian Studies ‘If the title seems curious, many of the observations are well observed and sharply focused. … So many of the comments, about self wealth (kibun), preserved vegetables (kimch’i), about taking buses and boats, and so on, are excellent.’ British Association for Korean Studies ‘An excellent travelogue of both North and South Korea.’ Lonely Planet World Guide Author: Clive Leatherdale Kindle Edition: 365 pages Kindle eBook Company: Desert Island eBooks (2012-02-07) (2012-02-07) List Price: Amazon Price: Amazon.com DVD: North Korea travel

From President Truman's edict to the finals body-count, America,s involvement in Korea is and will remain the subject of historic dispute. This was a war in which a million Chinese, 600,000 Korean and 50,000 American soldiers lost their lives. The anti-Communist element, though a catalyst, was by no means the only motivating factor. The issues surrounding the Korean War are in danger of being lost to public awareness. To revisit the era in which events in Korea were very much in the news and on every American mind, Historic Time Travel- Korean War: Korea Goes to War! is an invaluable resource with a treasury of pertinent, fascinating audio-visual material.DVD: Black & White, Collector's Edition, Flash, Full length, Full Screen, Original recording remastered, Restored, NTSC Company: TravelVideoStore.com (2005-04-14) List Price: $19.95 Amazon Price: $17.96 Amazon.com Books: North Korea travel
A New York Times bestseller, the shocking story of one of the few people born in a North Korean political prison to have escaped and survived. North Korea is isolated and hungry, bankrupt and belligerent. It is also armed with nuclear weapons. Between 150,000 and 200,000 people are being held in its political prison camps, which have existed twice as long as Stalin's Soviet gulags and twelve times as long as the Nazi concentration camps. Very few born and raised in these camps have escaped. But Shin Donghyuk did. In Escape from Camp 14, acclaimed journalist Blaine Harden tells the story of Shin Dong-hyuk and through the lens of Shin's life unlocks the secrets of the world's most repressive totalitarian state. Shin knew nothing of civilized existence-he saw his mother as a competitor for food, guards raised him to be a snitch, and he witnessed the execution of his own family. Through Harden's harrowing narrative of Shin's life and remarkable escape, he offers an unequaled inside account of one of the world's darkest nations and a riveting tale of endurance, courage, and survival.

This is an account of an American woman’s recent travels through North Korea. Throughout her journey, she continually witnessed rundown villages, starving children with hollow eyes, haggard women crawling in the fields for single grains of rice and civilians unloading food aid at the point of bayonets. The author predicts that North Korea’s economic reform, which has just started, will progress slowly, but that the country will one day be open to the outside world. It may, however, take another twenty years for this reform to be complete. Small, reluctant changes have already happened though, and this book expresses optimism that one day the North Korean people will end their isolation and join the world’s mainstream.

'The scariest place on earth.' So said President Bill Clinton on his visit to the no-man's land between South and North Korea in 1993. With the end of the Cold War in Europe, the minefields and barbed wire that divide the two Koreas constitute the jagged edge of world peace. If the world is to endure a nuclear holocaust, Korea is the likely flashpoint.Although one can peep inside Stalinist North Korea from the capitalist South, to set foot within that hermetic state requires a journey of several thousand miles--from Soul to Hong Kong, from Hong Kong to Beijing, and form Beijing to the North Korean capital, Pyongyang. And this presupposes that the North Korean Embassy in Beijing will happily grant a visa to any itinerant Westerner requesting one--which, as this book explains, is not the case. This book, then, is a collection of field observations and reflections by Clive Leatherdale who undertook two separate journeys to South Korea and North Korea. This book title comes from the familiar Korean folk tale of "dreaming of a pig" as a good omen of fortune and enrichment, the story that he was told by a student in South Korea. The writer makes a conscious attempt to draw parallels between his modern day travels and the earlier accounts of Westerners' travels to Korea's hermit-kingdom in bygone eras.
