Agree about Loung Ung she is a true inspiration for us all.
But pleeaaase avoid the "In America.. blabla... In America.. blabla.."
What most people do not know is that this glorious global peace-promoting country known as the USA actually helped and supported Khmer Rouge guerillas as an actor against the Vietnamese troops (after the defeat against North Vietnam) at the height of the Cold War.
After what she's been through, it amazes me how she is able to recall the details of her terrible child hood & now she is doing what she can for Cambodia & that's a lot. We need more Cambodians like her.
I have read both books and they are simply amazing. I cried. They are inspirational, and I learned stuff I never knew, too. You are such a brave and strong woman! TY for the upload!
I have read this book and its just amazing. Im 15 and this is the best book i have ever read and will ever read. I am currently reading the second and find it hard to put it down. Loung Ung is an amazing woman and has gone through hell. I recommend her book to anyone. It's called 'First they killed my Father' and the second is called 'Lucky Child'
Thank you loung for writing your book, life is filled with stories that need to be heared. Not only does it heal one's pain but give a voice to the truth ...
tnank for this, it amazes me me how she could come out of that to become such a succses, an they killed my father first was probaly the best book ive ever read

These narrators have a cheesy presentation. You don't have to sex up the story. It's already potent w/truth.
Any vids of her giving a speech?
