John Sweeney is a writer and journalist who, when working for the BBC, has challenged dictators, despots, cult leaders, con artists and crooked businessmen for many years. Sweeney has covered wars and chaos in one hundred countries and been undercover to a number of tyrannies, including Chechnya, North Korea and Zimbabwe. The author of fifteen books including the Sunday Times best- seller Killer in the Kremlin, he reports on the war in Ukraine from his twitter handle @johnsweeneyroar

"Sweeney's book is a spark in the dark of North Korea." The Times "The recent UN report on North Korea under-lined the importance of Sweeney's book. There is much to learn from North Korea Undercover." Literary Review "Harrowing... creepy and poignant; and, in turn, tragic and obscene. North Korea Undercover asserts that the West should be more concerned about labour camps than nuclear weapons." -- Tom Farrell Sunday Business Post "Explosive and entertaining... Sweeney provides a remarkably vivid look at this hidden country. An investigative must-read." Booklist "A tremendous piece of reporting. This book is one that we should all read and absorb." Army Rumour Service
