The Rebel And The Kingdom: The True Story Of The Secret Mission To Overthrow The North Korean Regime
The Rebel And The Kingdom, by Bradley Hope, is a gripping, true-life investigation into Adrian Hong's audacious mission to topple the North Korean regime. A non-fiction narrative that reads with the speed of a thriller, it sits at the crossroads of geopolitical history and real-world daring. Written for readers who crave investigative reporting, political history, and fearless storytelling—adults and curious readers who want to understand how idealism can meet danger, and how ordinary people can stir extraordinary change—the tone is propulsive, principled, and deeply engaging.
In The Rebel And The Kingdom, Hope pulls back the curtain on Hong's extraordinary journey—from a Yale undergraduate to a covert organizer of Cheollima Civil Defense (later renamed Free Joseon) and the high-stakes actions that followed. The book captures the rhythms of risk as it follows operations across China, the peril of sheltering defectors, and the bold, controversial choices that earned Hong both admiration and international scrutiny. Including dramatic moments such as the 2017 Madrid embassy raid, the narrative is deeply reported and told with a novelist's eye, blending interviews, firsthand accounts, and meticulous research to build a story that reads like a spy thriller while remaining firmly anchored in fact.
- Propulsive, deeply reported narrative about Adrian Hong and Free Joseon
- Globe-spanning scope—from Yale to China to Europe—told in a vivid, cinematic voice
- Explores the tension between idealism and risk, ethics and action
- Based on interviews, on-the-ground reporting, and careful historical detail
- Reads like a spy thriller while delivering clear, real-world context about North Korea
After finishing The Rebel And The Kingdom, readers walk away with a clearer understanding of North Korea's hidden world, the power and peril of principled activism, and a renewed sense that one determined individual can challenge a secret regime—and change the course of history. The Rebel And The Kingdom invites you to think deeply about courage, consequence, and the lasting impact of bold action.
