Survival in the Killing Fields by Haing Ngor

5.0

This book was both amazing and soul crushingly saddening. It took me weeks to read, which is unusual for me, simply because I had to stop reading in order to recover mentally. Haing Ngor goes through hell and back, and only then he tells you 'you should skip this if you're of the faint of heart'. He's not kidding either. It's horrifying what comes next, and he does it not once but three separate times. It's not the sort of book I'm going to forget for a long, long time.
