North Korea's Kim Jong Il made himself into a living god, surrounded by lies and flattery and beyond criticism. As over two million of his subjects starved to death, he lived in palaces stocked with the most expensive delicacies from around the world. Outside, the steel mills shut down, the trains stopped running, the power went out, and the hospitals ran out of medicine. When the population threatened to revolt, Kim imposed a reign of terror, deceived the United Nations, and plundered the country's resources to become a nuclear power. Journalist Becker takes us inside one of the most secretive countries in the world, which seems destined to linger on for some time, a menace to its own people and to the rest of the world.-- From publisher description. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 600 10 Kim, Chŏng-il,|d1942-2011.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /names/nr97032952 600 10 Kim, Il-sŏng,|d1912-1994.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n79032857 600 14 Kim, Chŏng-il,|d1942-2011. 600 14 Kim, Il-sŏng,|d1912-1994. 600 17 Kim, Chŏng-il,|d1942-2011.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1796834 600 17 Kim, Il-sŏng,|d1912-1994.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/32922 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Politics and government.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1919741 651 0 Korea (North)|xHistory.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2008115741 651 0 Korea (North)|xPolitics and government.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2007005687 651 7 Korea (North)|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1214151 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aBecker, Jasper.|tRogue regime.|dOxford ; New York : Oxford University Press, 2005|z019517044X |w(DLC) 2004012967|w(OCoLC)55535048 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=121026|zOnline eBook.
