A gripping work of narrative non-fiction, The Killing Fields: The Facts Behind the Film presents the harrowing true story that inspired the celebrated 1984 Roland Joffé film of the same name. The book chronicles the Khmer Rouge genocide in Cambodia through the eyes of two men whose bond transcended war: New York Times journalist Sydney Schanberg and his Cambodian colleague and friend Dith Pran. Through personal accounts drawn directly from Schanberg and Pran, it uncovers the brutal reality of life under one of the twentieth century's most murderous regimes — the systematic terror, the forced evacuations, and the desperate struggle for survival. Written with unflinching honesty, the book stands as a vital historical document and a testament to the enduring power of friendship and courage under unimaginable circumstances.
