▼a "In 2016, Thae Yong-ho, the North Korean Deputy Ambassador to the UK, defected to South Korea. In this book, he reveals the truth of what he saw during his career as a North Korean ambassador, and why he decided to leave. Thae is the highest-ranking diplomat who has defected to South Korea in history. The Passcode to the Third Floor, a best-seller in South Korea, is a tell-all exposé on North Korean politics and diplomacy over the regime of three generations of the Kim dynasty. This unflinching account reveals his thoughts on the Kim family and their close associates on the "Third Floor"-the group of members who are in charge of the glorification of Kim Jong Un and protecting its regime"--
