Description

I think there were around 15 American soldiers defected to North Korea during/after the Korean war.  One defected last year, what happened to him?

I remember when Jenkins was allowed to leave, after like 40 years in paradise.  He'd married a Japanese woman (one of many who were kidnapped and transported to Korea).  They came to Japan.  Jenkins wasn't court-martialed, punished in any way.  Arguably, 40 years in North Korea was punishment enough.

Discuss.

Blurb to follow:

In January of 1965, twenty-four-year-old U.S. Army sergeant Charles Robert Jenkins abandoned his post in South Korea, walked across the DMZ, and surrendered to communist North Korean soldiers standing sentry along the world's most heavily militarized border. He believed his action would get him back to the States and a short jail sentence. Instead he found himself in another sort of prison, where for forty years he suffered under one of the most brutal and repressive regimes the world has known. This fast-paced, harrowing tale, told plainly and simply by Jenkins (with journalist Jim Frederick), takes the reader behind the North Korean curtain and reveals the inner workings of its isolated society while offering a powerful testament to the human spirit.
