About First They Killed My Father
Loung Ung was 5 years old when the Khmer Rouge seized power in Cambodia in 1975. The regime soon began a four-year reign of terror and genocide in which nearly 2 million Cambodians died. Forced from her family's home in Phnom Penh, Ung was trained as a child soldier while her six siblings were sent to labor camps.
