New book by Felix Abt 

The Swiss entrepreneur Felix Abt, who lived and worked in DFR Korea for manyyears and became famous with his book A capitalist in North Korea, has nowreleased the sequel North Korea behind the veil, with the subtitle What themainstream media does not want you to see !, which is free as an e-book. In thepreface, Abt writes, among other things; North Korea has been portrayed fordecades as a monolithic gulag network filled with slaves and a hellhole by themass media. The socio-economic changes North Korea has undergone over the lastdecade or more have been almost entirely unreported. Despite my firsthandknowledge and insights gleaned from my time in this isolated country, my viewshave been largely ignored by the mainstream media. The reason for this, Ibelieve, is because I have tried to be as fair and objective as possible,instead of merely trashing the country as I’ve been expected to. Against thisbackground, Abt writes that he owes the North Korean people to continue to tellthe outside world about their country. The book can be downloaded here as a pdf file.
