The Dictator's Playbook

(Natasha Ezrow) There's no country that exercises more power over it's citizens than North Korea. (Jean H. Lee) After hundreds of years of fuedal rule and brutal Japanese occupation. (Bruce Cumings) Kim Il Sung saw himself as the great unifier. (Natasha Ezrow) He was able to create a complete religion. (Michael Madden) For the North Koreans, Kim Il Sung was a living god. (Jean H. Lee) Controlling what they think, what they eat. (Charles K. Armstrong) That has lasted now for almost 70 years. (Jean H. Lee) We had never seen anything like that in the communist world.
