A River In Darkness by Masaji Ishikawa
This is one of those books that punches you right in the gut. Having a nebulous idea that "things are tough" in North Korea is one thing, but reading someone's harrowing first-hand account of just HOW horrible it is takes that understanding to a whole new level. The appalling and dehumanizing conditions under which people have been living in this isolated country will break your heart, and this memoir of one man's 36-year ordeal and eventual escape from that country will make you wonder: how many more people are still suffering there?
I highly recommend this eye-opening book.
