Escape from Camp 14 by Blaine Harden


Escape from Camp 14 is a true story presented by the author Blaine Harden of one man’s journey from North Korea to freedom. The book is based on the true story of Shin Dong-Hyuk who was born in 1982 inside a North Korean political concentration camp and talks about his life in the camp, how he escaped, and his journey to the US and South Korea. His story is one of the most remarkable because he is the only known prisoner to have escaped from a North Korean concentration camp and survived. This is one of the most intriguing and emotional books I have every read because when I was reading; I was reminded that every account was true. I definitely recommend that everyone, both middle school and high school students should read this truly life changing story.
