À propos de cet audio

In January of 1965, 24-year-old US Army sergeant Charles Robert Jenkins abandoned his post in South Korea, walked across the DMZ, and surrendered to communist North Korean soldiers standing sentry along the world's most heavily militarized border. He believed his action would get him back to the States and a short jail sentence.

Instead he found himself in another sort of prison, where for 40 years he suffered under one of the most brutal and repressive regimes the world has known. This fast-paced, harrowing tale, told plainly and simply by Jenkins (with journalist Jim Frederick), takes the listener behind the North Korean curtain and reveals the inner workings of its isolated society while offering a powerful testament to the human spirit.

Some people are spamming this Reviews section with accusations of Traitor. You have no right to judge someone for what they did in their Military service. Unless you did Military service! You shouldn't say a word of that. This man thought he was avoiding his doom. What would you do to guarantee your survival? Charles Robert Jenkins should be a cultural icon. To me, he will be.
