Book Reviews of To the End of Hell: One Woman's Struggle to Survive Cambodia's Khmer Rouge
Book Review: Moving and memorable - unlike anything else you'll read about Cambodia
Summary: 5 Stars
When I visited Cambodia two years ago, I was there for only four days and had time to take in Angkor Wat and that was about it. I really regretted not taking the time to visit the Killing Fields and sought out a book that would try to compensate for missing out. Luckily Denise's book definitely did this for me.
Affonco wrote the original manuscript immediately after her ordeal was over, giving it an incredible immediacy. I knew that the genocide committed by the Khmer Rouge must have been tragic, but with `To the End of Hell' the oppression takes on a meaning and reality it would be impossible to glean from a text book. It feels like Denise is sitting and telling you her story herself.
The new trial for those significant leaders of the Khmer Rouge (sadly not Pol Pot as he is already dead) is coming up soon in Cambodia, backed by the UN. Undoubtedly this will garner massive press coverage, but reading this book gives a human back-story to something we've probably all heard about but know little of.
Almost as good as visiting the country itself.
