A haunting account of teaching English to the sons of North Koreas ruling class during the last six months of Kim Jong-ils reign Every day, three times a day, the students march in two straight lines, singing praises to Kim Jong-il and North Korea: Without you, there is no motherland. Without you, there is no us. It is a chilling scene, but gradually Suki Kim, too, learns the tune and, without noticing, begins to hum it. It is 2011, and all universities in North Korea have been shut down for an entire year, the students sent to construction fields-except for the 270 students at the all-male Pyongyang University of Science and Technology (PUST), a walled compound where portraits of Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il look on impassively from the walls of every room, and where Suki has gone undercover as a missionary and a teacher. Over the next six months, she will eat three meals a day with her young charges and struggle to teach them English, all under the watchful eye of the regime. Life at PUST is lonely and claustrophobic, especially for Suki, whose letters are read by censors and who must hide her notes and photographs not only from her minders but from her colleagues-evangelical Christian missionaries who dont know or choose to ignore that Suki doesnt share their faith. As the weeks pass, she is mystified by how easily her students lie, unnerved by their obedience to the regime. At the same time, they offer Suki tantalizing glimpses of their private selves-their boyish enthusiasm, their eagerness to please, the flashes of curiosity that have not yet been extinguished. She in turn begins to hint at the existence of a world beyond their own-at such exotic activities as surfing the Internet or traveling freely and, more dangerously, at electoral democracy and other ideas forbidden in a country where defectors risk torture and execution. But when Kim Jong-il dies, and the boys she has come to love appear devastated, she wonders whether the gulf between her world and theirs can ever be bridged. Without You, There Is No Us offers a moving and incalculably rare glimpse of life in the worlds most unknowable country, and at the privileged young men she calls soldiers and slaves.

My little soldiers were also little robots, she writes before departing, mourning not only that she must leave, but that they must stay.-Boston GlobeRemarkable…A deeply unsettling book, offering a rare and disturbing inside glimpse into the strangeness, brutality and claustrophobia of North Korea… Kims book is full of small observations that vividly evoke the paranoia and loneliness of a nation living in fear and in thrall to its Great Leaders…Her portraits of her students are tender and heartbreaking, highlighting the enormity of what is at stake.-Chicago TribuneA book about censorship, trust, fear, love, and truth, seen through the prism of a school that functions as a comfortable prison…The title comes from a song the students sing in honor of The Dear Leader, including the lyric, Without you, there is no us. Within that title, and this book, is a multitude of truths.-Philadelphia InquirerSometimes personal histories retain a potent electromagnetic force, [like] Suki Kims rivetingly topical look inside the most isolationist country on earth.-VogueEnthralling...Reveals the perplexing innocence and ignorance of one of the world’s most secretive countries.-O: The Oprah MagazineA devastatingly vulnerable account...
