Introducing the incredible story of Shin Dong-hyuk - the only person born in a North Korean gulag ever to escape... Twenty-six years ago, Shin Dong-hyuk was born inside Camp 14, one of five sprawling political prisons in the mountains of North Korea. Located about 55 miles north of Pyongyang, the labor camp is a complete control district, a no-exit prison where the only sentence is life. Inmates work 12 to 15-hour days in the camp - mining coal, building dams, sewing military uniforms - until they are executed, killed in work-related accidents or die of illness that is usually triggered by hunger. No one born in Camp 14 or in any North Korean political prison camp has escaped. No one except Shin. This is his story.

  • Amazing book

    This should be on the reading table for every government country throughout the world and that little fat pudding who made those believe the sun shine out of his bum and he farts lightening. The young lad believes he helped kill his mom/brother, it was the system not him. You have to read it and then see how you feel about what I hope the American's will finally do what HAS to be done no matter how many die to achieve it I'll gladly be in the front line
