Description:
1970 Guardian first American editions. Credited to author Baik Bong, the books are thought to be collectively written by the Chinese and North Korean governments.First published in the Korean language in 1968 and 1969. The English language translations were first published in 1969 and 1970, in Japan, under the Miraisha imprint.
The three books offered in this listing are first American editions, with US copyrights and Library of Congress catalog numbers. Kim's three volume biography was published and distributed worldwide under various imprints and languages, including French, Italian, Spanish, and Serbian. Presumably, this worldwide distribution was undertaken in support of "exporting revolution", a priority of the Chinese government in the 1960's and 1970's.
Condition of the three books and dust jackets is Very Good Plus. The books have sound bindings, complete and unmarked inside pages. The dust jackets show only light shelf wear, are not price clipped, and are protected in new mylar covers.
