Book Reviews of First They Killed My Father: A Daughter of Cambodia Remembers (P.S.)

Book Review: A Harrowing Account of Survival
Summary: 4 Stars

My daughter recommended this to me. It tells the horrific tale of the survival of a young Cambodian girl whose middle class educated family members are targetted by the Pol Pot regime as enemies of the state. It's a harrowing first-person account of one of the worst incidences of genocide from that most bloodthirsty of centuries - the 20th.
