Definitely, the first chapter is particularly difficult because it covers the Korean War and the effect that had on the country. There is a lot to learn from their struggle, though it is debatable whether they are really comrades through and through on a domestic level. They get shafted pretty damn hard in the media though (and it was true 2 decades ago when the book was written).
I'm interested, I'll find it and give it a read. Thank you for the recommendation, Comrade.
