Between 1975 and 1979 the seemingly peaceful nation of Cambodia
succumbed to one of the most bloodthirsty revolutions in modern
history. Nearly two million people were killed. As head of the
Khmer Rouge's secret police, Comrade Duch was responsible for the
murder of more than 20,000 of them. Twenty years later, not one
member of the Khmer Rouge had been held accountable for what had
happened, and Comrade Duch had disappeared. Photographer Nic Dunlop
became obsessed with the idea of finding Duch, and shedding light
on a secret and brutal world that had been sealed off to outsiders.
Then, by chance, he came face to face with him The Lost Executioner
describes Dunlop's personal journey to the heart of the Khmer Rouge
and his quest to find out what actually happened in Pol Pot's
Cambodia and why.
Living With Landmines looks in detail at the de-mining work now underway in Cambodia and Mozambique through the eyes of those most concerned: farmers, de-miners, an amputee and a Canadian soldier seconded as a technical advisor. It raises the question as to whether or not there is a de-mining technology which will allow faster, more affordable de-mining under the control of the farmers themselves, and suggests that there is one indeed.
Nic Dunlop spent 20 years photographing Burma under military rule.
His new book, Brave New Burma, is an intimate portrait in words and
pictures of a country finally emerging from decades of
dictatorship, isolation and fear. From the frontlines of the civil
war to deceptively tranquil cities, from the home of democracy
leader Aung San Suu Kyi to the lives of ordinary people struggling
to survive, Brave New Burma is both an historic collection of rare
images and a powerful expose of Burma's crisis. Change has come to
Burma for the first time in decades. But change brings dangers,
including the erasing of history and the invention of a new Burma
in appearance alone. Brave New Burma is a haunting record of a
country now struggling to recreate itself.
