Non biased books on North Korea? (If any exist)
Non biased books on North Korea? (If any exist)
Avid reader, especially political non-fiction. Interested in reading something about North Korea but am anticipating most books containing exaggerated and unverified claims and just being biased overall.
Was wondering if anyone knew any good, unbiased books on North Korea? If any actually exist?
