About

On Wednesday June 12, Washington Post Beijing Bureau Chief Anna Fifield will speak with Washington Post columnist David Ignatius about her forthcoming book The Great Successor: The Divinely Perfect Destiny of Brilliant Comrade Kim Jong Un, a behind-the-scenes look at the elusive Kim family dynasty in North Korea. Fifield will share how she gained exclusive access to sources near Kim Jong Un, revealing a rare portrait of the young ruler, his violent rise to power and despotic, unconventional reign. Her reporting reveals how Kim Jung Un has defied expectations and not only managed to survive, but thrive, counting U.S. President Donald Trump as an unlikely ally, despite the state’s authoritarian grip on its citizens.

Anna Fifield has reported from more than 20 countries and has visited North Korea a dozen times, becoming one of the most definitive voices on the highly secretive, oppressive regime. She will be joined by North Korea experts for a in depth look at the country’s storied past and uncertain future.
