Translated from Khmer by SocheataRed Print is a short novel about an interview between a reporter and Mao, a former KR solider. Mao described about his life from the beginning until now, a sad life filled with poverty that he shares with his two children in Pailin after the war ended. The disabled former soldier faces sadness, hardship and constant fear both during the war and during peace time. This is a testimony of the hard life faced by disabled veterans in general after the end of the war.
The author provides a vivid account that is easy to understand and grasp.
What is of the current fate of the former KR soldiers or that of soldiers belonging to other political parties?
This is a social issue that poets and authors should provide an account of as testimonials for future generations of Cambodian people.

Since I am undeniably uneducated and my English is verbly limited, therefore I could not literally write any readable sentence or the simple history of the Killingfield, but I eagerly wish the author could interview more people, especially such as Pen Sovan, Chea Sim, Heng Samrin, SihanoukVatman, SenVatman and more in order to teach the children of Khmer today and tomorrow to understand what exactly have happened?

I am one of the Khmer children you are talking. I don't need to read more lies from the interview of those named you listed to know the root of the destruction of Cambodia.
There are too many secret documents out there and some just released:
"Thailand and the Southeast Asian networks of the Vietnamese Revolution 1885-1954."
"Top Secret Memorandum of Conversation with Zhou Enlai and Pham Van Dong"; and
"Kissinger Told China Communist Takeover in Vietnam Was Acceptable "... too many related to Cambodia downfall which are parts of the history.
As long as Vietnam exists, Cambodia will be vanished, with or without Sihanouk.
