Description
Shin Dong-hyuk's escape from a North Korean prison camp is one of the most remarkable stories of survival and freedom. His case led to international attention, prompting the United Nations to establish an investigation into the camps. Yet, despite its significance, his story remains largely unknown. Born in 1982, Shin spent his entire life behind the barbed wire of Camp 14, a vast prison camp that rivals Los Angeles in size. The camp is visible on Google Maps, yet it remains invisible to the outside world. Shin's family was imprisoned for decades, and he grew up unaware of the existence of the outside world. It wasn't until he was 23 years old that he managed to escape with the help of a fellow prisoner. This book tells the story of Shin Dong-hyuk's incredible journey from prison camp to freedom in America.
