Heart-wrenching account of a very difficult time in human history

A good read, especially if you have any curiosity about how planned economies work in the real world. The authors include a great many eyewitness accounts of what amounted to genocide of the Cambodian people. You could argue that those interviewed may have had their own agenda or bias. However, there is remarkable consistency in the experiences recounted, regardless of educational background or socioeconomic level. Highly recommended.

The sufferings of the human race often occur because the masses have no understanding. This book will help.
