After nearly 40 years of living in North Korea, alleged US defector Charles Robert Jenkins decided to reveal his story to one publication.  Read his story now as told at his hospital bedside exclusively to the Far Eastern Economic Review.

Once again, the REVIEW proves to be the most influential publication in Asia.  And as usual, the REVIEW's renowned reporting staff dig up gems well ahead of other media.  Fact is, serious players need to know in advance, before the whole world knows.  Successful business people know the value of getting solid, usable intelligence - and getting it early.  That's why they look for that advance warning in the REVIEW each week.

Speaking to a journalist for the first time since leaving Pyongyang, Jenkins tells the REVIEW about his life in North Korea, his family, and his plans to turn himself over to the U.S. Army even though he expects to face a court martial.  Discover this REVIEW exclusive interview now!
