br. Shin Dong-hyuk è l'unico uomo nato in un campo di prigionia della Corea del Nord ad essere riuscito a scappare. La sua fuga e il libro che la racconta sono diventati un caso internazionale, che ha convinto le Nazioni Unite a costituire una commissione d'indagine sui campi di prigionia nordcoreani. Il Campo 14 è grande quanto Los Angeles, ed è visibile su Google Maps: eppure resta invisibile agli occhi del mondo. Il crimine che Shin ha commesso è avere uno zio che negli anni cinquanta fuggì in Corea del Sud; nasce quindi nel 1982 dietro il filo spinato del campo, dove la sua famiglia è stata rinchiusa da decenni. Non sa che esiste il mondo esterno, ed è a tutti gli effetti uno schiavo. Solo a ventitré anni riuscirà a fuggire, grazie all'aiuto di un compagno che tenterà la fuga con lui, e ad arrivare a piedi e con vestiti di fortuna in Cina, e da lì in America. Questa è la sua storia.

Fine Fine English Paperback. Dust wrapper. 4to. (26 x 20 cm). In English. [vii], [1], 141, [14] p., b/w plates. Korea 1952: Situation negative! An account of service with Turkish brigade. "Along with soldiers of many nationalities, I had the privilege of serving with the forces of the free world in Korea from September 1952 to September 1953. During this period I had the honour to serve alongside the Turkish Brigate. It was therefore with particular interest that I read this book. I can commend it as a factular account of the life and conditions encountered during the Korean War. Here is a story of the human element of war - the welding of men into a professional fighting machine, their trials and tribulations in and out of battle. Men not tactics or strategy, are the theme will come a time in every battle when the issue passes to the soldiers. Victory or defeat is in their hands and will depend at the crucial stage on their courage, discipline and determination to win. Men are the decisive weapon. Although this book tells the story of men - Turks whose reputation on the battlefield is to be envied - it is also the story of all soldiers irrespective of nationality As such it has universal appeal. Mr Danisman is o be congratulated on his straightforward acconut of soldiers on the battlefield.".
