The killing fields, the film of the year – Christopher Hudson Flitsaanbieding

Beschrijving

The killing fields, the film of the year

This is not a great book to give you an overview of the whole political situation surrounding the conflict in Cambodia but that is simply not its purpose.

This is a book centred on an American journalist and his Cambodian friend who is working with him, detailing the actual events which happened to these two men. I found myself aching with desperation to know what would happen next many times primarily due to the thoughtful characterisation and brilliant scene setting. Seeing the conflict through the eyes of a journalist was a powerful experience well facilitated by Hudson.
