Summary of ankit panda's kim jong un and the bomb

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Jong Un, the youngest son of Kim Jong Il, was chosen to be the next supreme leader of North Korea. He was brash, confident, and headstrong, but his youth would be a problem, particularly given the existence of powerful greybeards around Kim Jong Il who might try to influence the young leader. #2 Kim Jong Un, the son of Kim Jong Il, was proclaimed the new leader of North Korea in 2011. He quickly made global headlines for executing his uncle-by-marriage, Jang Song Thaek, one of his father's most trusted and powerful deputies, in 2012. #3 Kim Jong Un, after barely two years in power, declared a new strategic line in March 2013 called byungjin, or parallel development. This line borrowed an old idea from his grandfather, first articulated in a 1962 speech to the Workers' Party Central Committee. #4 Kim Jong Un's byungjin was the successor to his father's songun policy, which had put the Korean People's Army at the forefront of affairs of state. Kim had been careful not to present these reforms to national defense as a break from his father or grandfather's traditions.
