Tento autor sa zaoberá ľudskou odolnosťou tvárou v tvár extrémnemu utrpeniu a motiváciami tých, ktorí toto utrpenie spôsobujú. Jeho písanie čerpá z rozsiahlych skúseností z žurnalistiky v Kambodži, kde sa stretol s temnými aspektmi ľudskej histórie. Táto práca skúma nielen prežitie v najhorších podmienkach, ale aj dôvody, prečo sú ľudia vystavovaní takým hrôzam. Autorova perspektíva je formovaná jeho skúsenosťami z Južnej Afriky a rodinnou históriou, čo mu umožňuje hlboko preniknúť do psychológie utrpenia a prežitia.
In 1977, young diplomat Ouk Ket was recalled to Cambodia 'to get educated to better fulfil [his] responsibilities'. Left behind in Paris were his French wife and their two young children; they never saw him again. Through this tragedy, the book explores the infamous S-21 prison, the UN-backed trial of its commander, and Cambodia's years of terror.
