内容简介
······
The shocking story of one of the few people born in a North Korean political prison to have escaped and survived.
North Korea is isolated and hungry, bankrupt and belligerent. It is also armed with nuclear weapons. Between 150,000 and 200,000 people are being held in its political prison camps, which have existed twice as long as Stalin's Soviet gulags and twelve times as long as the Nazi concentration camps. Very few born and raised in these camps have escaped. But Shin Donghyuk did.
In Escape from Camp 14, acclaimed journalist Blaine Harden tells the story of Shin Dong-hyuk and through the lens of Shin's life unlocks the secrets of the world's most repressive totalitarian state. Shin knew nothing of civilized existence-he saw his mother as a competitor for food, guards raised him to be a snitch, and he witnessed the execution of his own family. Through Harden's harrowing narrative of Shin's life and remarkable escape, he offers an unequaled inside account of one of the world's darkest nations and a riveting tale of endurance, courage, and survival.

此书难找，直到半个多月前才偶尔找到了Kindle版。篇幅大概200多页，英文易懂程度中等。书中开头就说：Shin出生于14号劳改营，并且是这个劳改营有史以来第1个也是唯一一个成功出逃的人。关于朝鲜的劳改营，在为数不多的几本书中有所描述，也有极少数的人从中出逃。这么一个出生长大在劳改营的角色，却是第一次看到，所以其亲身经历相对其他角度的描写肯定更让人触动。让人感触最深的是：在集中营高压政策下，人与人…
故事本身就很有吸引力，不需要太多夸张的技巧渲染。
震撼人心啊…
不知道说什么说不上喜欢作者那种世界警察的语气，但是觉得好像朝鲜就是可以这么疯。下本看《我们最幸福》。
