“Stalin has died. The ardent heart of the great leader of progressive mankind has ceased to beat. This sad news has spread over Korean territory like lightning, inflicting a bitter blow to the hearts of millions of people. Korean People’s Army soldiers, workers, farmers, and students, as well as all residents of both South and North Korea, have heard the sad news with profound grief." – Kim Il Sung”

“I often tell my friends that I write to reach people who are like me. If you find this book fun to read, or even meaningful, you are like me, at least in that particular way. I may never know who you are, but I firmly believe that you are out there.”
