This was the first book I read about a specific country, more precisely North Korea.
There were so many things that surprised me in this book that I can’t even enumerate them all otherwise I would be writing another book.
Still, I believe that the main highlight of this book is its author. Former Portuguese Ambassador in North Korea, and in many other countries, with a more than excellent curriculum, he was one of the first diplomatic representatives of a country, Portugal, of which I am so proud, to set foot on North Korean soil. His contribution, described in this book, was the key to the significant, but still insufficient, advances in opening up what is considered the most closed country in the world.
An example and a reference, by the person who was and is. Congratulations, Dr. José Manuel Duarte de Jesus! I strongly recommend this reading!
