Kim Philby, the so-called Third Man in the Cambridge spy ring, was the Cold War's most infamous traitor, a Soviet spy at the heart of British intelligence.

He betrayed hundreds of British and US agents to the Russians and compromised numerous operations inside the Soviet Union.

Now, celebrity ghostwriter Michael Malice pulls back the curtain to expose the life story of the "Incarnation of Love and Morality". Taken directly from books spirited out of Pyongyang, Dear Reader is a carefully reconstructed first-person account of the man behind the mythology.

Der internationale Bestseller aus Südkorea zeigt die junge Frau Kim Jiyoung auf ihrem Weg zur Emanzipation in einer von Ungleichheit und Unterdrückung geprägten Gesellschaftsordnung. Cho Nam-joos Roman, eindringlich gelesen von Nele Rosetz und Felix von Manteuffel, erzählt das Schicksal einer Mittdreißigerin, die in einer kleinen, aufgeräumten Wohnung am Rande der Metropole Seoul lebt. Kim Jiyoung hat erst kürzlich ihren Job im Marketing aufgegeben, um sich um ihre neugeborene Tochter zu kümmern - wie es von koreanischen Frauen erwartet wird.

Kim Philby's life and career has inspired an entire literary genre: the spy novel of betrayal. He was one of the leaders of the British counter-intelligence efforts, first against the Nazis, then against the Soviet Union. He was also the KGB's most valuable double-agent, so highly regarded that today his image is on the postage stamps of the Russian Federation.

The mysterious, brutal, and calculating Kim Jong Un has risen to become the unchallenged dictator of a nuclear rogue state. He now possesses weaponry capable of threatening America and its allies, and his actions have already significantly changed global politics. It’s believed that Kim Jong...

To say that the so-called "Supreme Commanders" of North Korea have been sticklers for submission would trivialize the more-than-troubling state of affairs that has plagued this precarious place for decades. The fearsome Kim regime, though relatively fresh in comparison to powerful dynasties that lasted for centuries, has become one of history's most controversial bloodlines. Kim Il-sung analyzes the known and unknown about one of the most important leaders of the 20th century.
