About this listen

He wasn’t supposed to rule. He wasn’t even supposed to be seen. But when the middle son of a dying dictator stepped into power, he didn’t just inherit a country. He inherited the bomb. This is the true story of Kim Jong Un, the most mysterious and dangerous leader of the modern era.

Born in secret, raised in luxury, trained in silence, then handed the world’s most volatile regime at 27 years old. From family assassinations and missile launches to basketball diplomacy and nuclear summits, this book traces how one man turned a dying dictatorship into a global spectacle of fear, power, and myth.

And the scariest part? He’s still in control.
