I have On The Path of Songun, it’s really good.
(Unfortunately, if the same authors made a book about the Turkish military/defense industry, it’d be indistinguishable from complied FNSS/Roketsan brochures….)
As far as open source compilations go The Armed Forces of North Korea is better than most. Pairs well with the DIA Military Power series on North Korea.
