520    "In this rare insider's view into contemporary North Korea,
       a high-ranking counterintelligence agent describes his 
       life as a former poet laureate to Kim Jong-il and his 
       breathtaking escape to freedom. "The General will now 
       enter the room." Everyone turns to stone. Not moving my 
       head, I direct my eyes to a point halfway up the archway 
       where Kim Jong-il's face will soon appear... As North 
       Korea's State Poet Laureate, Jang Jin-sung led a charmed 
       life. With food provisions (even as the country suffered 
       through its great famine), a travel pass, access to 
       strictly censored information, and audiences with Kim Jong
       -il himself, his life in Pyongyang seemed safe and secure.
       But this privileged existence was about to be shattered. 
       When a strictly forbidden magazine he lent to a friend 
       goes missing, Jang Jin-sung must flee for his life. Never 
       before has a member of the elite described the inner 
       workings of this totalitarian state and its propaganda 
       machine. An astonishing expose; told through the heart-
       stopping story of Jang Jin-sung's escape to South Korea, 
       Dear Leader is a rare and unprecedented insight into the 
       world's most secretive and repressive regime"--|cProvided
