Victor Cha has done it again! Proving forever and a day that he is THE expert on North Korea. I highly recommend this book to any Korea Studies scholar or just someone interested in North Korea.

As a student of political science this book was an absolute pleasure to read. It was very insightful to see a more accurate description of North Korea. I hope scholars continue to have the opportunity to research this country, so more people can assess their views on it. The description and details of the certain countries regarding North Korea was interesting to follow and even more the participation of the women in the markets. I highly recommend this book.
