North Korea has been a pariah state for sixty years - Lord Alton suggests that through constructive, critical engagement there is a better way to relate.
Lord Alton has had a distinguished career as a campaigning MP, both in the Commons and now in the House of Lords. He helped found the All-Party Street Children Group, the Movement for Christian Democracy, Jubilee Campaign and the All Party Parliamentary Committee on North Korea. He has written books on a range of ethical and human rights issues.
"David Alton has visited North Korea several times, questioned and
challenged its leadership, learned about the terrible record of its
prison camps, its tortures, its induced famines over the course of
sixty years, and met many witnesses to the extraordinary survival
of faith, generosity of spirit and forgiveness in [one of] the
darkest places on earth. That evidence inspires him to believe
there are ways out of this human hell. This is a book about
brutality on a global scale. But it is also a book about hope."
*Baroness Shirley Williams *
“A fascinating and eminently readable account of Korean
history.”
*David Steel – Lord Steel of Aikwood*
“Building Bridges is destined to be the `go-to’ book on the world’s
most secretive nation. It is gripping, authoritative and
accessible.”
*Danny Smith, Jubilee Campaign*
