North Korea's supreme leaders : Kim Il-sung, Kim Jong-il and Kim Jong-un

New York Times Company. (Added Author). New York Times Educational Publishing, (publisher.). Rosen Publishing Group. (Added Author).

Summary: Ruled by three successive generations of the Kim family, North Korea is one of the most authoritarian states in the world. This collection of articles covers the history of their dynasty, including Kim Il-sung's assumption of power in the wake of World War II, the intense cult of personality surrounding him that followed, and the twice-over handoff of power from father to son, first to Kim Jong-il and later to Kim Jong-un. This in-depth coverage presents a tale of human rights abuses, famine, and nuclearization at the hands of three eccentric, unpredictable, and fiercely nationalistic dictators.
