A review by irina_sky
First They Killed My Father by Loung Ung

5.0

A terrifying story about a family trying to survive through the Cambodian Civil War. The book depicts the horrors of that time so vividly, that you literally painstakingly live the story and shudder from all the atrocities that were taking place during so many years.

After reading this book, the first urge was to visit Cambodia and learn more about its history and politics. This must say a LOT about a book.

Totally recommended.
