Not entirely accurate, October 8, 2016

This review is from: Tyranny of the Weak: North Korea and the World, 1950-1992 (Studies of the Weatherhead East Asian Institute, Columbia University) (Paperback)

Uses citations which do not even remotely match their sources in regards to what the text says. Poorly written and heavily biased. If the DPRK is truly as evil as the west portrays it, then we need to use concrete facts. This book doesn't help the cause of any side except the side of misinformation.
