Kim Jong-un bibliography
On 15 April 2012, the centenary of the birth of North Korea's first leader Kim Il-sung, Kim Jong-un made his first major public speech, entitled "Let Us March Forward Dynamically Towards Final Victory, Holding Higher the Banner of Songun". At least two works predate this speech. "To All the Service Personnel and People Who Deeply Mourned the Death of Comrade" is dated 26 March. Kim published "Let Us Brilliantly Accomplish the Revolutionary Cause of Juche, Holding Kim Jong Il in High Esteem as the Eternal General Secretary of Our Party" shortly before the 11 April , which conferred on Kim Jong-il the posthumous title "Eternal General Secretary". "The Great Kim Il Sung Is the Eternal Leader of Our Party and Our People", also from 2012 and probably ghostwritten, runs through the achievements of both Kim Jong-il and Kim Il-sung in a "panegyric" fashion.
