Description
North Korea Undercover: A unique and timely account of life in one of the world's most secretive states. This is a reality that echoes George Orwell's 1984, where propaganda pours through omnipresent loudspeakers and free speech is an illusion.
Award-winning BBC journalist John Sweeney travelled undercover to gain unprecedented access to North Korea, posing as a university professor. Drawing on his own experiences and extensive interviews with defectors and other key witnesses, he provides a rare insight into life in the Hermit Kingdom today.
