Recenzii

"Having spent six years conducting about a thousand hours of interviews, the authors have produced a rare look inside the psyche of a mass killer. They find [in Nuon Chea] a faithful son and loyal husband, an idealist, ascetic, and moral purist who blames the Cambodian people for being too corrupted by imperialism and capitalism to implement the pure-minded plans of the Angka ("organization")... This important story-told with a restraint that makes it all the more effective-confirms the banality of evil."-Foreign Affairs "The authors should be commended for their intellectually stimulating book which should make a welcome contribution to the healing process that is currently underway in Cambodia today."-Human Rights Quarterly
