Through his experiences, the author offers a unique perspective on the communist regime and the political atrocities committed in Cambodia between 1953 and 1979. The book, with a foreword by John Le Carré, immerses the reader in a personal and moving account of survival and reflection in times of conflict.
François Bizot is a French anthropologist. While working as a conservationist in Cambodia, he was held captive by the Khmer Rouge for several months. He was released after being found innocent of spying charges, becoming the only Westerner to survive imprisonment by the Khmer Rouge.
