Escape from Camp 14

It's been a while since I've read anything about North Korea, and this slim biography of a young man who was born inside a North Korean prison camp and remained there until he escaped in his early 20s is harrowing, and ultimately very readable. Would have finished faster except I was trying my darndest not to pick it up right before bedtime!

Includes a decent amount of background on what happens in general with North Korean defectors, who travel through China to South Korea or even though other Asian countries first, their mental states and behaviors. Written by a former Washington Post reporter.
