Sung-Yoon Lee

Corea del Norte no es un régimen aislado; es una potencia nuclear en ascenso, regentada por una dinastía implacable que, a base de juegos geopolíticos, ha perfeccionado el arte del control, la disuasion y la manipulacion global. Pero ¿quien se esconde detras de esta fuerza mundial? En este ensayo, el experto en politica norcoreana Sung-Yoon Lee desvela la enigmatica y despiadada figura de Kim Yo Jong, hermana menor del lider supremo Kim Jong Un, jefa de propaganda, administradora interna y artifice de la politica exterior de uno de los paises mas poderosos y peligrosos del planeta. Lazos inquebrantables, purgas brutales y malsanas dinamicas familiares han mantenido a la dinastia Kim en el poder durante generaciones, pero solo uno de los hermanos gobierna. En la sombra, como buena estratega, espera su momento para convertirse en la autentica sucesora. El es la cara del regimen. Ella, su verdadera arma secreta.

This first book on Kim Jong Uns increasingly powerful sister, tapped to be his successor, offers jaw-dropping insights into the latest generation of North Koreas secretive and murderous dynasty. The first woman ever to issue the threat of a nuclear weapons strike is not even officially a head of state. Kim Yo Jong is the sister of North Koreas Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un and, as their murderous regimes chief propagandist, internal administrator, and foreign policymaker, she is the most powerful woman in North Korean history. Cruel but charming, she threatens and insults foreign leaders with sardonic wit, issuing proclamations and denunciations in her own name, a first for any woman in the Korean royal family. She memorably called the South Korean Defense Minister a senseless and scum-like guy before going on to promise South Korea a miserable fate little short of total destruction and ruin. A princess by birth with great expectations for her macabre kingdom, she was brought up to believe it is her mission to reunite North Korea with the South or die trying. Shes ruthless and incredibly dangerous. The Sister, written by Sung-Yoon Lee, a scholar of Korean and East Asian studies and a specialist on North Korea, is a fascinating, authoritative account of the mysterious world of North Korea and its ruling dynastya family whose lust for power entails the brutal repression of civilians, a missile program that can reach the continental US, and the constant threat of global havoc.

Ground-breaking Daily MailIn explaining the rise to power of Kim Yo Jong, Lee displays his deep knowledge and understanding of North Koreas extreme, ruthless and self-obsessed dynastic autocracy, the creators and rulers of a de-facto nuclear weapon state. Not a reassuring story Sir John Scarlett, former Chief of the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6)Written by Dr Sung-Yoon Lee, a scholar and specialist on North Korea who has advised the US government, The Sister is a jaw-dropping account of the spectacular rise of Kim Yo Jong, de-facto deputy to her brother, Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un, and the most powerful woman in North Korea.In 2022, in a particularly fiery speech, Kim Yo Jong threatened to nuke South Korea, reminding the world of the dangers posed by her state. But how did the youngest daughter of Dear Leader Kim Jong Il, his sweet princess, become the ruthless chief propagandist, internal administrator and foreign policymaker for her brothers totalitarian regime?The Sister uncovers the truth about Kim Yo Jong, her close bond with Kim Jong Un and the lessons in manipulation they learned from their father. Lee also examines the iron grip the Kim dynasty has on their country, the grotesque deaths of family members deemed disloyal, and the signs that Kim Yo Jong has been positioned as her brothers successor should he die while his own children are young.Readable and insightful, this book is an invaluable portrait of a woman who might yet hold the survival of her despotic dynasty in her hands.An incisive portrayal of North Koreas "princess", Kim Yo Jong, but also a chilling portrait of a family dynasty that has oppressed and exploited North Korea for generation after generation Max Boot, Washington Post columnist, author and senior fellow, Council on Foreign Relations
