Description
A harrowing true story of life in one of the world's most brutal totalitarian regimes. Masaji Ishikawa recounts his tumultuous upbringing and 36 years living under a crushing regime, as well as his challenges repatriating to Japan after barely escaping with his life. Born into a mixed-Korean and Japanese family, Ishikawa was unwittingly drawn into North Korea's lowest social caste at the age of thirteen. His father, lured by promises of work, education, and a higher station in society, faced harsh realities that would shape Ishikawa's life forever. This memoir, translated from the original Japanese, offers a shocking portrait of life inside North Korea and a testament to the human spirit's indomitable nature.
