Uber major overhaul of the book - Day 1.

How one man escaped a North Korean prison camp.

I've always been fascinated with North Korea. That there can exist a place on Earth that is completely shut off from the rest of the world, to the point where its inhabitants are unaware that there even exists a "rest of the world" is mind-boggling.
