As a boy, he lived during the invasion of Cambodia by the Khmer Rouge. He was from a very prominent family until the invasion. After the invasion, he was forced out of his home, lost family, was often hungry, and was forced into hard labor. The book shows the resilience of Nawuth and his determination to survive. ( ) This is a tale of Nawuth Keat’s family struggle to survive the Khmer Rouge genocide in Cambodian. The slim volume begin with the rise of the Khmer Rouge and how they took control over the village he lived in through his landing in Oregon to begin life anew in the United States. Written for middle school and senior high school students, it shows the ugly side of ethnic cleansing. I don't know if I'd recommend this book to somebody or not, I feel partial about it. It was a good non-fiction story, but I don't think I'd recommend this otherwise. The cover art is okay and I'd recommend this to middle and high school students, as well as adults. I chose to read this book because it seemed like an interesting story. BrookAnnH Gripping first person account of the horror's perpetrated by the communist Khmer Rouge in Cambodia. Written at 6-8th grade reading level - so the 4 stars are meant to be applied to that level. For adults interested in the topic, I recommend First They Killed My Father. You can find it on my virtual bookshelf here on Goodreads. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
