A Land of Prison Camps, Starving Slaves and Nuclear Bombs? Kindle Edition

Description:

«A compelling departure from the universal story.» —Noam Chomsky, Professor Emeritus at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, author of 150 books «Finally, the truth about North Korea. Felix Abt takes us inside the ‘Hermit Kingdom,’ and he shows us that the caricature we’re fed by the western media simply isn’t true. Do you want to know what life in North Korea is really like? Read this book.» —John Kiriakou, Former CIA Counterterrorism Officer and former Senior Investigator, US Senate Committee on Foreign Relations «Swiss businessperson Mr Abt draws upon data and seven years of personal experience living and working in North Korea to demonstrate that nearly everything the Western media thinks they know about North Korea is either passé or inaccurate. A must read for anyone commenting on the Hermit Kingdom especially the mainstream media and their so-called 'expert' sources.» —James Hyams, journalist and film maker, founder of the Watchdog Film Festival — the first and only film festival that screened investigative films diving into worlds otherwise unknown. «Contrary to relentless media demonization, a Swiss businessman who worked in North Korea for seven years found much to like about the country — though was dismayed by the terrible effects of U.S. sanctions.» —Jeremy Kuzmarov, book author and managing editor of CovertAction Magazine, an investigative magazine with a focus on the activities and abuses of the CIA and other issues such as surveillance technology, prison system, U.S. wars and the environment. «When it comes to North Korea we are usually fed Western propaganda, or shown the excesses and often lies about what North Korea represents. Once again Felix Abt has created something nuanced that only someone who has spent so much time in the country could produce. But it is also much more than just opinions about North Korea, this book offers some stark realities of what might befall us if policies don’t change as we waltz into Cold War 2.0» —Gareth Johnson, founder and CEO of Young Pioneer Tours, a travel company specializing in tourism to countries including North Korea, Cuba and Iran. «North Korea exists in international discourse as a land where cartoon villains keep millions of tragic innocents trapped in a huge, country-sized prison. While criticisms can certainly be made about the country, the extreme demonization is grotesquely unfair. Felix's message that these are real people in a real society is extremely important.» —Nury Vittachi, writer based in Hong Kong, editor of Fridayeveryday.com, news of Asia without the Western lens. He authored dozens of fiction, non-fiction and children’s books. https://www.amazon.com/Prison-Camps-Starving-Slaves-Nuclear-ebook/dp/B09XXW9KQK
