The world's most secretive nuclear power, it still has Gulag-style prison camps, allows no access to the Internet and bans its people from talking to foreigners without official approval. In this remarkable and eye-opening book, internationally best-selling author Paul French examines in forensic detail the history and politics of North Korea, Pyongyang's complex relations with South Korea, Japan, China and America, and the implications of Kim Jong-un's increasingly belligerent leadership following the death of his father, Kim Jong-il. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs an already unstable North Korea grows ever more unpredictable, antagonizing enemies and allies alike, \u003ci\u003eNorth Korea: State of Paranoia\u003c\/i\u003e delivers a provocative and frightening account of a potentially explosive nuclear tripwire.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul French\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1783605731\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781783605736\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Zed Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/15\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 488\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.85h x 5.06w x 1.12d","brand":"Paul French","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43988022165759,"sku":"9781783605736","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9ef9fb97-ef94-47e4-857d-b96a567048d9.jpg?v=1683292188","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/north-korea-paul-french-9781783605736","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
