This sounds like fiction, but it's true:  a Yale graduate who sets out to take down the North Korean regime. After encountering the narrative of a North Korean escapee, Adrian Hong finds a cause that will propel him from the potential promising life of a Yale student to his current status as wanted fugitive. Hong begins by setting up a campus organization dedicated to the North Korean cause. From there, his views and the organizations and connections he builds grow ever bolder and more risky. He travels campuses and conferences speaking on the North Korean cause, meets with politicians and wealthy businessmen cultivating connections, and sets up a successive series of organizations that become more radical in mission. His ambitions grow from assisting North Korean refugees to aiding defections to an eventual goal to take down the North Korean regime and help shape its future. My opinion on Hong shifted throughout the course of the book: his dedication, his naivete, his boldness, his impatience. His actions more than once end up jeopardizing his peers, the people he hopes to help and their families, other North Korean aid organizations, and even geopolitical events. Hong comes across as both fascinating and mysterious, admirable and dangerous.
