Without You, There Is No Us

My Time With the Sons of North Korea's Elite

I found this extemely interesting to understand life in North Korea. It takes place at a university for elite males. Amazing how sheltered from the outside they are and the propoganda that is fed to them. The things they believe about the outside world, and how they are taught to think of the americans and japanese as their enemies. Also they are taught to believe that North Korea is so far advanced in technology compared to everywhere else. They have Intranet but have no idea about Internet and the capabilities. Their whole life is programmed to work for the state and to adore Kim Jung Il. It is told by a native South Korean now living in the US. She is a journalist who goes there to teach and risks being caught writing details of the life of the students while she is there.
