Aquariums of Pyongyang: Ten Years in the North Korean Gulag by Chol-hwan Kang
Kang is the first survivor of a North Korean "re-education" camp to tell his story. North Korea is a mysterious nation. Very little is reported about life in North Korea, as they have blocked the world from the borders. Kang gives us a view of Communism at it's worst. He tells his story of suffering and oppression through the eyes of an innocent youth.
I found this memoir sad, chilling and deeply honest. A truly eye-opening account of the North Korean people's plight.
