A day after the announcement of the death of dictator Kim Jong-il, around the world, all eyes are on North Korea. More specifically, the world is closely watching the deceased leader's heir apparent, his youngest son Kim Jong-un. Last year, Kim Jong-un was named a 4-star general and vice chairman of the National Defense Commission. After a period of mourning, he's expected to take full power of North Korea.

Robert Egan, a New Jersey restaurant owner, talks about how he ended up involved in the high-stakes diplomatic battles between the United States and North Korea. In Eating with the Enemy:How I Waged Peace with North Korea from My BBQ Shack in Hackensack, he describes befriending and advising the deputy ambassador to the United Nations and other North Koreans, informed for the FBI, and vexed the White House with his meddling, all in the interest of promoting peace.
