First They Killed My Father Movie Tie-In: A Daughter of Cambodia Remembers by Loung Ung

challenging dark emotional hopeful informative sad tense slow-paced

4.0

An emotionally difficult read, but also something that I felt that I needed to learn about before visiting Cambodia. Blows my mind that this happened in my lifetime.
