    I’d like to mention Tim Beal, formerly of Victoria University, in New Zealand, author of North Korea The Struggle Against American Power (2005) and Crisis in Korea (2011).

    how many of these people have actually worked or visited North Korea outside of Pyongyang. It’s funny how so many “NK” experts have actually never been in Pyongyang or other parts of North Korea.
