5.0 out of 5 stars Tragic, amazing, left me speachless..., 21 Nov 2001
This is a story about the survival of a man in one of the most derifying regimes in history. This tells of Pin Yathay's struggle against the ruthless Khmer Rouge. It explains how he lost his whole family to illness, execution, starvation, exhaustion and mere disappearance. It is amazing to realise that other countries are out under so much terror by a brainwashed minority. This book is an easy read, however is very difficult to come to terms with the scale of things. The year before Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge came to power, Cambodia had a population of almost 8 million; after five years in power, the population had been reduced to just over five and a half million people. I would recommend this to anybody interested in hitory, or who wants something to read. I will guarantee this will be very hard to put down.

5.0 out of 5 stars Shocking, inspring, and very readable, 30 Jun 2004
By J. R. Ekins "chunky" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Stay Alive, My Son (Touchstone Books) (Paperback)
This book is an inspiring story of survival in the most appalling circumstances. This is very much in the mode of those books by Loung Ung, Haing Ngor and Chanrithy Him. It is not a "I was there too" story.

There is a really dreadful incident while the author and a small group are attempting to escape to Thailand. The group breaks up, possibly having been spotted by a Khmer Rouge patrol. The author, his wife and another woman, continue on, and eventually they get split up in the jungle. Suddenly there is the realisation that the author is alone. I read on, gripped, expecting or hoping that that somehow they would meet again, but no they didn't. Sometime later he reflects some time later on what may have happened to his wife (possibly succumbed to starvation, captured by a patrol, eaten by an animal).

Buy it, and try and imagine how bad the Khmer Rouge really were.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely moving, 10 Sep 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Stay Alive, My Son (Hardcover)
The horror of the Khmer Rouge is movingly portayed and shocks you to the very core in this account of the genocide in Cambodia. It is beautifully written and very readable, as all of Yathays emotions feel unnervingly real.
