Kim Jong-un - The Super Secret Diary of a Young Dictator (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

"I'm the world's youngest head of state. Surely that's a head worth exploring," Kim Jong-un reckons mere days after the passing of his father. What follows is an intimate portrait of a young man aching to find good in himself, a quest that often fails miserably.Guided by his ever loyal uncle, the inexperienced dictator falls in love, lands himself at the epicenter of a nuclear crisis and somehow finds time to strike up a dysfunctional friendship with an American basketball player named Dennis Rodman.The Super Secret Diary of a Young Dictator offers a harsh and unforgiving look into the mind of one of the world's most notorious dictators. Forced to fend for a legacy his father left him, Kim Jong-un is slowly consumed by his ever growing addiction to power and his resulting gravitation toward isolation.Chronicling his first three years as Supreme Leader, Kim Jong-un's diary allows us to empathize with one of the world's most controversial individuals. It asks us what we are a product of. How and where do we obtain our humanity? How human is our struggle not to become what we resent the most?"The harder I started to cry, the harder the people around me started to cry. They mistook my emotions for an order."Kim Jong-un, December 2013NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR: This book was written to show Kim Jong-un that freedom is not his enemy.
