YouTube Description
as posted by the channelBuilding from her groundbreaking 2018 Brookings essay, "The Education of Kim Jong Un," Pak offers the most detailed and thorough portrait of the North Korean leader to date. A former CIA analyst who advised top military and government officials, including the Obama White House, Pak draws on her experience and access to classified documents to trace the rise of an enigmatic and surprising leader. Initially written off as unlikely to last, Kim instead has consolidated his power at home through a series of brutal purges while commanding ever more attention on the world stage for his nuclear ambitions. Arguing that he’s still underestimated in the West, Pak illuminates much about Kim’s personality and motivations.
