From 1975 to 1979, almost two million people were brutally tortured and executed in the killing fields of Cambodia by the Khmer Rouge regime. Senior investigative reporter Thet Sambath, who lost his parents and brother to the massacre, set out to discover why so many had to die. For ten years, he investigated the haunting story, persuading men who actually carried out the killings to admit to their acts on camera—one man even demonstrates how he slit his victims’ throats—never revealing his own connection to the tragedy. Sambath’s greatest coup, however, was to get Pol Pot’s second-in-command, Nuon Che, also known as Brother Number Two, to break his 30-year silence and admit to issuing the orders to kill. With its shocking testimony, revealed here for the first time, Enemies of the People represents an individual’s courageous attempt to come to terms with the darkest moment in his country’s history.  SM
