Additional information
by Khemara Sok (Author)
From the killing fields of Cambodia to the corridors of Washington, DC, this memoir traces an extraordinary life shaped by war, survival, and truth.
After the war, Khemara entered Cambodia's emerging free press and became one of the country's most persistent truth seekers. His reporting uncovered Khmer Rouge tribunal suspects, exposed political abuses, documented corruption and deforestation, and gave voice to survivors whose stories were nearly erased.
Later, as Head of VOA Khmer Service in Washington, DC, he led international coverage of US-Cambodia relations, ASEAN summits, human rights issues, and the struggle for democracy in Southeast Asia.
Told with clarity and honesty, this memoir spans five decades of war, resilience, and public service journalism. It reflects a lifelong commitment to integrity and to the belief that truth still matters.
A powerful read for anyone interested in Cambodia, journalism, genocide history, human rights, or the courage required to speak truth to power.
