  • "This is an autobiographical account of life in Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge, written by the Oscar-winning actor from "The Killing Fields", whose own experiences under the Khmer Rouge were more shocking than those of Dith Pran, the character he played. The Khmer Rouge, led by Maoist fanatics, laid waste to the social fabric of Cambodia, forcing the entire population into agricultural labour camps and murdering those they considered bourgeois or intellectual. As a doctor, Haing S. Ngor was a special target of the Khmer Rouge; his family was wiped out, his wife died from starvation in his arms, and he himself managed a dangerous escape from the devastated, war-torn country."
  • "The harrowing true story of Haing S. Ngor, a Cambodian doctor presecuted by the Communist Khmer Rouge regime. It is an extraordinary eye-witness record of the tragedy of Cambodia - the murders and torturings, the devastation of a beautiful country and its people, and the assault on the human spirit. He won an Academy Award for his performance as Dith Pran in the film The Killing Fields."
