520    When Kim Jong Un became the leader of North Korea 
       following his father's death in 2011, predictions about 
       his imminent fall were rife. North Korea was isolated, 
       poor, unable to feed its people, and clinging to its 
       nuclear program for legitimacy. Surely this 
       twentysomething with a bizarre haircut and no leadership 
       experience would soon be usurped by his elders. Instead, 
       the opposite happened. Now in his midthirties, Kim Jong Un
       has solidified his grip on his country and brought the 
       United States and the region to the brink of war. Still, 
       we know so little about him-or how he rules.  Enter former
       CIA analyst Jung Pak, whose brilliant Brookings 
       Institution essay "The Education of Kim Jong Un" cemented 
       her status as the go-to authority on the calculating young
       leader. From the beginning of Kim's reign, Pak has been at
       the forefront of shaping U.S. policy on North Korea and 
       providing strategic assessments for leadership at the 
       highest levels in the government. Now, in this masterly 
       book, she traces and explains Kim's ascent on the world 
       stage, from his brutal power-consolidating purges to his 
       abrupt pivot toward diplomatic engagement that led to his 
       historic-and still poorly understood-summits with 
       President Trump. She also sheds light on how a top 
       intelligence analyst assesses thorny national security 
       problems: avoiding biases, questioning assumptions, and 
       identifying risks as well as opportunities.  In piecing 
       together Kim's wholly unique life, Pak argues that his 
       personality, perceptions, and preferences are 
       underestimated by Washington policy wonks, who assume he 
       sees the world as they do. As the North Korean nuclear 
       threat grows, Becoming Kim Jong Un gives readers the first
       authoritative, behind-the-scenes look at Kim's character 
       and motivations, creating an insightful biography of the 
       enigmatic man who could rule the hermit kingdom for 
       decades-and has already left an indelible imprint on world
       history
