Anna Fifield

We’re excited to present Beijing bureau chief of The Washington Post, Anna Fifield, who is the author of The Great Successor, a book about North Korea’s elusive tyrant Kim Jong Un and his rise to power. This is a captivating read and a much-needed addition to political literature’s gap of knowledge on this dictator.
