"One man's remarkable odyssey from North Korea to freedom in the West" (2012) by Blaine Harden

It reads more like a story than a biography. I do have a fiction book also checked out to read when I'm done with this, "Rogue Warrior: Dictator's Ransom" (2008), by Richard Marclinko, and a non-fiction, "The Impossible State: North Korea, Past and Future" (2012) by Victor Cha.

2. I know - I reposted the link in GD because of the interest in NK

Got a few thanks for it too. There's a post from me in the link you posted

Thank you, Neoma.

3. I'm reading very iffy non-fiction right now.

The Legends of King Arthur and His Knights. I dunno if that qualifies.

4. I don't know about it being fiction, but

You might be able to find a home for that post in Creative Speculation. - The Holy Grail and all that .

It doesn't fit into fiction that well, because of the historical background, but I'm no expert, so whatever you did suits me fine...

5. English history is so iffy because the place was conquered so much.

6. I have would like to read it

Here in South Korea I have gone to some lectures where North Korean refugees have given first accounts of their life and escaping the country. No Ordinary Country and the Aquariums of Pyongyang were good as well.
