Korea has been referred to as the Hermit Kingdom and Victor Cha accurately captures this sense of xenophobianism in North Korea. Victor Cha's analysis seems fair and relatively accurate but there exist no real basis for comparison of this secretive and vocally biligerant state. I would recommend this over all other studies of N. Korea as a starting point.
Former White House official Victor Cha has written the definitive volume on North Korea, arguably the world’s most menacing and mysterious nation. In The Impossible State, Cha, a singular expert on the region, exposes North Korea’s veiled past; sheds light on its culture, economy, and foreign policy; and explores the possibilities of its uncertain future in the post-Kim Jong-il era. A timely and engaging insider’s look at a volatile, and isolationist Asian juggernaut, The Impossible State will carry readers far deeper into this frighteningly adversarial country than they’ve ever traveled before.

The thorough, insightful and up-to-date book about N.Korea and its relations with the neighboring countries and the U.S is a must read for anyone who wants to know what's going on in the hermetic kingdom and the outlooks. Cha has covered the comprehensive topics from the origin of the power, the past regimes' political mishaps and brutality, to the future with the current new leader in details with accurate facts, history, and recorded data. It's fascinating to read about cultish personalities of Kim Jong Il, continuous tribulation with futile negotiations regarding the nuclear weapons, and the author's view on the possible unification that's more likely to happen sooner than later. And it's heartbreaking to read about the starving, freedom deprived and poverty-stricken people of N.Korea who desperately need the reform.
