Anna Fifield

Anna Fifield (born 14 March 1976) is currently the Beijing bureau chief for The Washington Post.[1] She was Tokyo bureau chief for that paper from 2014 to 2018. In that role, she focused her attention on news and issues of Japan, North Korea, and South Korea. She has been to North Korea a dozen times. She got her start writing for the Rotorua Daily Post [2] in her native New Zealand and writing for wire services. Then, in 2001 at the age of 24, she headed to London and secured a job at the Financial Times where she worked for 13 years, mainly as a foreign correspondent. She was US Political Correspondent in Washington, D.C. between 2009 and 2013, and was previously Middle East correspondent in Beirut and Tehran, and Korea Correspondent in Seoul. She has reported from more than 20 countries, including Iran, Iraq, Syria, Libya and North Korea. She was a Nieman Fellow in Journalism (August 2013 through May 2014) at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts.[3] There, she studied how change happens in closed societies.[4] In 2018, she was awarded the Shorenstein Journalism Award from Stanford University. "Fifield exemplifies how crucial it is to get the complexities of Asia right and the profound role of journalism in shaping public and decision maker approaches to our counterparts in the region," the university said.[5] In reporting on North Korea, she has highlighted the difficulties faced by ordinary North Koreans, especially in the Kim Jong-un era. In 2017, she interviewed more than 25 recent escapees from North Korea, producing a major report that was published in both English and Korean.[6] This was the first time the Washington Post had published in the Korean language.[7] (Bron: Wikipedia)

Samenvatting

The behind-the-scenes story of the rise and reign of the world's strangest and most elusive tyrant, Kim Jong Un, by the journalist with the best connections and insights into the bizarrely dangerous world of North Korea.
Since his birth in 1984, Kim Jong Un has been swaddled in myth and propaganda, from the plainly silly -- he could supposedly drive a car at the age of three -- to the grimly bloody stories of family members who perished at his command.
Anna Fifield reconstructs Kim's past and present with exclusive access to sources near him and brings her unique understanding to explain the dynastic mission of the Kim family in North Korea. The archaic notion of despotic family rule matches the almost medieval hardship the country has suffered under the Kims. Few people thought that a young, untested, unhealthy, Swiss-educated basketball fanatic could hold together a country that should have fallen apart years ago. But Kim Jong Un has not just survived, he has thrived, abetted by the approval of Donald Trump and diplomacy's weirdest bromance.
Skeptical yet insightful, Fifield creates a captivating portrait of the oddest and most secretive political regime in the world -- one that is isolated yet internationally relevant, bankrupt yet in possession of nuclear weapons -- and its ruler, the self-proclaimed Beloved and Respected Leader, Kim Jong Un.
