Survival in the Killing Fields by Haing Ngor

5.0

This is probably the saddest book I've ever read. It absolutely broke my heart that one person could endure so much mental and physical anguish. This book is brilliantly written in a way that feels immersive. If you haven't read historical non-fiction before, this is an amazing introduction to the genre. Everyone should read it so we can make sure nothing like this can ever happen again. It's scary stuff.
