Dear Reader: The Unauthorized Autobiography of Kim Jong Il

Now, celebrity ghostwriter Michael Malice pulls back the curtain to expose the life story of the "Incarnation of Love and Morality". Mere years later, the wicked US imperialists took their chance at conquering the liberated nation - with devastating results. Taken directly from books spirited out of Pyongyang, Dear Reader is a carefully reconstructed first-person account of the man behind the mythology.
