First They Killed My Father is a powerful and moving memoir that tells the true story of a young girl's survival during the Cambodian genocide. Loung Ung's vivid and harrowing account of her experiences will stay with you long after you finish reading it.

Loung Ung was only five years old when the Khmer Rouge regime came to power in Cambodia. Within days, her family was forced to leave their home and march into the countryside. They were subjected to forced labor, starvation, and torture. Loung Ung's father, brother, and two sisters were all killed by the Khmer Rouge.

Loung Ung herself was forced to work in a labor camp, where she was beaten and starved. She witnessed the deaths of countless other children. But somehow, she managed to survive. After the Khmer Rouge was overthrown in 1979, Loung Ung fled to the United States. She eventually reunited with her mother and younger brother, but the scars of her childhood experiences remained.
