Book Synopsis

''An outstanding book of astonishing power . . . One finishes it with an ache in the heart''
Jon Swain, writer and foreign correspondent, author of River of Time


''Like Auschwitz, like Stalin''s purges, the mass murders of the Khmer Rouge are one of those extraordinary events that make us wonder about the human capacity for evil. Through a profoundly moving tale that weaves together the connected stories of a victim, his surviving family, and members of the regime, Robert Carmichael brings us into the heart of the darkness that took over Cambodia, bringing it alive in the way no mere statistics can. I''ve not seen a comparable book about these horrors.''
Adam Hochschild, award-winning author of King Leopold''s Ghost

''What does it mean to say two million people lost their lives during the years of Khmer Rouge rule? The true answer can only be told in microcosm, as Robert Carmichael has done in this intimate and heartbreak
