Introduction

If you're new to the story, start with the overview presented on the front page of this site, this Introduction, the Summary and the Timeline. Together, they run about 1,600 words, the length of a newspaper article. The remainder of the material here runs another 7,500 words and approaches the Kim saga from a number of angles.

If you’ve already immersed yourself in the story and want to know our opinions, look first at the Summary and then skip to the Who Was Resposible page. Also look at our Lessons to Learn page.
