"Alive in the Killing Fields" is the real-life memoir of Nawuth
Keat, a man who survived the horrors of war-torn Cambodia. He has
now broken a longtime silence in the hope that telling the truth
about what happened to his people and his country will spare future
generations from similar tragedy.
In this captivating memoir, a young Nawuth defies the odds and
survives the invasion of his homeland by the Khmer Rouge. Under the
brutal reign of the dictator Pol Pot, he loses his parents, young
sister, and other members of his family. After his hometown of
Salatrave was overrun, Nawuth and his remaining relatives are
eventually captured and enslaved by Khmer Rouge fighters. They
endure physical abuse, hunger, and inhumane living conditions. But
through it all, their sense of family holds them together, giving
them the strength to persevere through a time when any assertion of
identity is punishable by death.
Nawuth's story of survival and escape from the Killing Fields of
Cambodia is also a message of hope; an inspiration to children
whose worlds have been darkened by hardship and separation from
loved ones. This story provides a timeless lesson in the value of
human dignity and freedom for readers of all ages.
