  • History of Revolutionary Activities of President Kim Il Sung
    HISTORY OF REVOLUTIONARY ACTIVITIES OF PRESIDENT KIM IL SUNG PYONGYANG, KOREA JUCHE 101 (2012) HISTORY OF REVOLUTIONARY ACTIVITIES OF PRESIDENT KIM IL SUNG Foreign Languages Publishing House Pyongyang, Korea Juche 101 (2012) 1 PREFACE Kim Il Sung, the great leader of the Korean people, was the author of the Juche idea and Songun idea, pioneer of the revolutionary cause of Juche, founder of socialist Korea and eternal President of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. Devoting his life to the cause of the independence of the masses for 70 years since he embarked on the road of the Korean revolution in his early teens, he piled up outstanding imperishable exploits. He pioneered the revolutionary cause of Juche by force of arms; he defeated Japanese imperialism in his thirties to liberate Korea and the self-styled “mightiest” US imperialism in his forties to defend the security of his country and sovereignty of his nation. He led the anti-imperialist, anti-feudal democratic revolution, socialist revolution and socialist construction to victory, thus establishing a socialist system, in which the masses of the people have become the masters of everything and everything serves them, and a powerful socialist country, independent, self-supporting and self-reliant in national defence. By frustrating at every step the imperialists’ and other hostile forces’ schemes to isolate and stifle the DPRK, he staunchly defended the Korean style of socialism centred on the masses and demonstrated its might across the world. He brought the problem of succession to the revolutionary cause of Juche to a brilliant solution, and rendered outstanding contributions to expediting the independent reunification of his country and the cause of the independence of other peoples all over the world.

  • The US Imperialists Started the Korean War
    The US Imperialists Started The Korean War Candidate Academician Ho Jong Ho, Doctors Kang Sok Hui And Pak Thae Ho Foreign Languages Publishing House Pyongyang, Korea 1993 On the Second Impression of This Book More than 40 years have elapsed since the provocation of the Korean war by the US imperialists. The war inflicted intolerable misfortune and suffering on the Korean people. Their peaceful labour was suspended and the building of a new Korea, which was progressing with dynamic force, was interrupted. The historians of our country have published many books exposing the true nature of the US imperialists as the provokers of the war and giving detailed accounts of their preparations to start it. The matter of who started the Korean war was revealed by progressive scholars and reporters in the United States during the war and afterwards in Japan and other countries the world over. Nevertheless, the US imperialists were and are desperate to avoid respon- sibility for the outbreak of the war. As for the grounds for their assertion they refer to the fact that as soon as the war broke out the Korean People's Army rushed south at a remarkable speed. In addition they cite some rigged up inci- dents, what they call secret talks and parleys. But the first ground is not a matter relating to the outbreak of the war but one of strategic superiority. As for the second ground, it is mere wild talk, with no documentary evidence at all to support it. In consideration of this, our editorial board has decided to reprint the book The US Imperialists Started the Korean War that was first published in 1977.
