"North Korea Confidential gives us a deeply informed close-up…" --
New York Times
"…[North Korea Confidential] uses extensive interviews with recent
defectors and people still in the country to build a rich picture
of daily life there." -- Financial Times
"…[Tudor and Pearson] make judicious use of parallels between the
divided Koreas. The book endows North Koreans with individuality
and complexity, without shying from the brutal or bizarre elements
of North Korea." -- Global Asia
