Nicolas Levi's work "Who Rules North Korea?" is an exemplary study of one of the most isolated countries in the world. The author approaches the description of events and the assessment of historical facts with extraordinary prudence and caution. Exploring North Korea is like exploring an iceberg, where access to information is limited and official communications are often unreliable.

Levi uses an impressive number of sources, including monographs, memoirs of system creators, and accounts from North Korean defectors. He personally spoke with defectors during his stay in South Korea, which allowed him to obtain unique internal information. This valuable data also comes from people who maintain contacts with North Korean diplomats, politicians, and journalists. As a result, a book was created that reveals unknown events, facts, processes, and mechanisms governing the last totalitarian state on earth.

Thanks to his conscientious approach and rich knowledge base, Nicolas Levi has created a work that will surely interest anyone who wants to understand the complexity and specificity of North Korea. This book is an extremely valuable source of knowledge about this country, allowing for a deeper understanding of its history, politics, and society. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the Far East and totalitarian systems.

The paperback book, measuring 14.5x20.5 cm and containing 224 pages, was published by Dialog Wydawnictwo Akademickie in 2015. It is a pioneering work that will surely remain an important point of reference for all researchers of North Korea and those interested in the subject of totalitarianism for a long time to come.
