What's North Korea's Destiny?

Nearly everything that’s being said about the pathology of the North Korean regime today is either false or already common knowledge. Brian R. Myers is a brilliant exception, one of the few who still informs us through his extraordinary command of two languages. He sets his fluency in Korean to work on the study of North Korean propaganda, often revealing truths that certain policy circles would rather not hear, as they suggest conclusions those circles would rather not reach. You will also note how I step gently in any criticisms of Myers’s arguments, because he’s also one of the best living writers of the English language on any topic, and if you doubt the damage that one Brian Myers’ fisking to can do to a person’s academic reputation, have a look at what’s left of left-wing historian Bruce Cumings after Myers finished with him. It’s the stuff of educational films shown to high school students for shock effect.
