First They Killed My Father: A Daughter of Cambodia Remembers

First They Killed My Father by Loung Ung.

A child of a high-ranking government official, Loung Ung lived a privileged life in Phnom Penh until the age of five. Then, in April 1975, Pol Pot’s Khmer Rouge army stormed into the city, forcing Ung’s family to flee. Loung was trained as a child soldier in a work camp for orphans, her siblings were sent to labor camps, and those who survived the horrors would not be reunited until the Khmer Rouge was destroyed.

Survival in the Killing Fields by Haing Ngor and Roger Warner (Contributor).

“Nothing has shaped my life as much as surviving the Pol Pot regime,” says Haing Ngor. In this memoir he tells the terrifying story of his term in the hell created by the communist Khmer Rouge. In an epilogue written especially for this new edition, Ngor’s coauthor, Roger Warner, offers a glimpse into this complex, enigmatic man’s last years—years that he lived “like his country: scarred, and incapable of fully healing.”
