A nation under rigid control -- Family life -- School life -- Work life -- Social life -- Political life.
Summary:
"With its zeal for secrecy and seclusion, North Korea has long been called the Hermit Kingdom. It separated from South Korea after a communist revolt in the late 1940s. Since then the nation has followed a path of totalitarian control. Just as the government strives to keep its people in the dark, it works just as hard to keep facts about North Korea from reaching the outside world."--Provided by publisher.
