| Summary |
In 1975, Buth Keo, the daughter of a high Cambodian official, was twelve years old and leading a relatively peaceful life in Phnom Penh. Suddenly, on April 17, Khmer Rouge radicals seized the capital and drove all its inhabitants into the countryside. The chaos that followed has been widely publicized, most notably in the movie The Killing Fields. Murderous brutality coupled with raging famine caused the deaths of more than two million people, nearly a third of the population. This powerful memoir documents the horror Cambodians experienced in daily life |
