First They Killed My Father: A Daughter of Cambodia Remembers by Loung Ung

challenging dark emotional informative sad tense medium-paced

5.0

I’ve been reading this book alongside my journey through Cambodia, during which I have visited sites such as the Killing Fields and S-21. 
Needless to say this is a very difficult yet extremely important read. 
I hope that this book, alongside the genocidal centres in Phnom Penh, will continue to be used as seminal resources to help ensure that crimes such as those committed during the Khmer Rouge regime never happen in any part of the world again.
