Reddit reviews Pot Shards: Fragments of a Life Lived in CIA, the White House, and the Two Koreas

Someone similar to your request might be Donald Gregg, who was the defacto (obviously not official) US diplomat to N. Korea during and after his assignment as special assistant to the U.S. Ambassador in Korea from 1973 to 1975, and during his long tenure at the CIA.

He recently wrote a book which may, in fact, answer some of the questions you put forward (I've not yet read the entire thing) : http://www.amazon.com/Pot-Shards-Fragments-Lived-Koreas/dp/0990447103

  If you'd like to know why your government lied to you and everyone else, please give this 5.5 minutes of audio a listen and note the date of the show - considering most national publications didn't start really covering the Sony hack in detail until about 2 weeks later it is extremely telling.

Donald Gregg.

I'll plug Uncle Don's book. It's a fascinating read.
