2015-03-18 19:04:47| Powells Books Events Calendar
In The Great Leader and the Fighter Pilot (Viking), Blaine Harden — author of Escape from Camp 14 — tells of the murderous rise of North Korea's founding dictator and the fighter pilot who faked him out. Kim Il-Sung grabbed power and plunged his country into war against the United States while the youngest fighter pilot in his air force was playing a high-risk game of deception and escape. Drawing on documents from Chinese and Russian archives about the role of Mao and Stalin in Kim's shadowy rise, as well as U.S. intelligence and interrogation files, Harden gives us a heart-pounding escape adventure and an entirely new way to understand the world's longest-lasting totalitarian state.
