Kim Jong Nam, the late Kim Jong Il’s eldest son, provides his own frank account of North Korea's “Dear Leader” in a book that will hit stores Jan. 20, including his reluctance to let any of his sons take power, an editor at publisher Bungei Shunju Co. said.

In an email in January after Kim Jong Il’s funeral Dec. 28, Kim Jong Nam voiced his opposition to the hereditary succession system that led to his younger brother, Kim Jong Un, being appointed North Korea's new leader.

Kim Jong Nam is also quoted by Gomi as saying that the existing power group will continue to hold the reins of power and plans to use the new, young leader as a symbol of North Korea.

Kim Jong Nam also said Kim Jong Il had remarked he wouldn't let any of his sons take power.

The gang of three will not be pleased with this book.

Wow, this is biggest news since Kim Jong-il’s death. It deserves its own thread.
