In January of 1965, twenty-four-year-old U.S. 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 forty 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 reader behind the North Korean curtain and reveals the inner workings of its isolated society while offering a powerful testament to the human spirit.

評分Fascinating, fascinating stuff. There are a lot of places here where one wishes Jenkins had gone farther -- and where he is holding back either to make himself look better or (maybe) to protect people back in North Korea. Even with these omissions, this is an incredible story, reasonably well-told.

評分看的第二本脫北者的自傳。但這次主人公不是朝鮮本地人,作為一個美國逃兵,他的視角不一樣,身份不一樣,經曆也不一樣。40多年前逃離瞭自己的部隊,雖然保存瞭性命,卻進入瞭北朝鮮這個牢房,遭遇瞭種種心理和生理的摺磨。然而不是這次逃離,他又無法遇上自己深愛的美麗的妻子(被北朝鮮綁架來的日本女人)。幸也?不幸也?不過不管怎麼說,他本來平常的一生,不平常瞭。
