North Korea's Arduous March

from Manmade Catastrophes · host Tailspin Media

As communism was collapsing around the world in the late-80s and early-90s, sheer incompetence and an insistence on maintaining absolute control over 22 million people in the world's last Stalinist state led to a disastrous famine that may have killed 15 percent of the country's entire population.
