In 1971 a young French ethnologist named Francois Bizot was taken prisoner by forces of the Khmer Rouge who kept him chained in a jungle camp for months before releasing him. Four years later Bizot became the intermediary between the now victorious Khmer Rouge and the occupants of the besieged French embassy in Phnom Penh, eventually leading a desperate convoy of foreigners to safety across the Thai border. Out of those ordeals comes this transfixing book. At its center lies the relationship between Bizot and his principal captor, a man named Douch, who is today known as the most notorious of the Khmer Rouge’s torturers but who, for a while, was Bizot’s protector and friend. Written with the immediacy of a great novel, unsparing in its understanding of evil, The Gate manages to be at once wrenching and redemptive. Read more

Award-winning journalist Elizabeth Becker started covering Cambodia in 1973 for The Washington Post, when the country was perceived as little more than a footnote to the Vietnam War. Then, with the rise of the Khmer Rouge in 1975 came the closing of the border and a systematic reorganization of Cambodian society. Everyone was sent from the towns and cities to the countryside, where they were forced to labor endlessly in the fields. The intelligentsia were brutally exterminated, and torture, terror, and death became routine. Ultimately, almost two million people—nearly a quarter of the population—were killed in what was one of this century's worst crimes against humanity.When the War Was Over is Elizabeth Becker's masterful account of the Cambodian nightmare. Encompassing the era of French colonialism and the revival of Cambodian nationalism; 1950s Paris, where Khmer Rouge leader Pol Pot received his political education; the killing fields of Cambodia; government chambers in Washington, Paris, Moscow, Beijing, Hanoi, and Phnom Penh; and the death of Pol Pot in 1998; this is a book of epic vision and staggering power. Merging original historical research with the many voices of those who lived through the times and exclusive interviews with every Cambodian leader of the past quarter century, When the War Was Over illuminates the darkness of Cambodia with the intensity of a bolt of lightning.

Finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Memoir or Autobiography A New York Times Notable Book of 2022 * Vulture’s #1 Memoir of 2022 * A Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, USA TODAY, Time, BuzzFeed, Publishers Weekly, Booklist, and New York Public Library Best Book of the Year * One of Oprah Daily’s 33 Memoirs That Changed a Generation From Chloé Cooper Jones—Pulitzer Prize finalist, philosophy professor, Whiting Creative Nonfiction Grant recipient—an “exquisite” (Oprah Daily) and groundbreaking memoir about disability, motherhood, and the search for a new way of seeing and being seen.“I am in a bar in Brooklyn, listening to two men, my friends, discuss whether my life is worth living.” So begins Chloé Cooper Jones’s bold, revealing account of moving through the world in a body that looks different than most. Jones learned early on to factor “pain calculations” into every plan, every situation. Born with a rare congenital condition called sacral agenesis which affects both her stature and gait, her pain is physical. But there is also the pain of being judged and pitied for her appearance, of being dismissed as “less than.” The way she has been seen—or not seen—has informed her lens on the world her entire life. She resisted this reality by excelling academically and retreating to “the neutral room in her mind” until it passed. But after unexpectedly becoming a mother (in violation of unspoken social taboos about the disabled body), something in her shifts, and Jones sets off on a journey across the globe, reclaiming the spaces she’d been denied, and denied herself. From the bars and domestic spaces of her life in Brooklyn to sculpture gardens in Rome; from film festivals in Utah to a Beyoncé concert in Milan; from a tennis tournament in California to the Killing Fields of Phnom Penh, Jones weaves memory, observation, experience, and aesthetic philosophy to probe the myths underlying our standards of beauty and desirability and interrogates her own complicity in upholding those myths. “Bold, honest, and superbly well-written” (Andre Aciman, author of Call Me By Your Name) Easy Beauty is the rare memoir that has the power to make you see the world, and your place in it, with new eyes.

Final Days of Heroes is the memoir of a CIA Special Operations officer (author Chip Beck), who by 1974 is already a three-year veteran of the wars in Vietnam and Laos. As U.S. combat forces are withdrawn from Vietnam in 1973, a handful of French-speaking, combat experienced CIA agents are dispersed individually as advisors into Cambodia’s remote and embattled upcountry provincial capitals. Beck ends up in the town of Kompong Thom in January 1974, an enclave of 15,000 people that was encircled for two years and once even occupied by the Khmer Communist forces known as the Khmer Rouge. On an initial visit to Kompong Thom from his original assigned base in Siem Reap, Beck encounters two heroic and charismatic Cambodian Army leaders, Colonel Khy Hak and General Teap Ben, who were becoming legendary figures in the war against the Vietnamese and Cambodian communists. As commanding officers of the Eleventh and Tenth Cambodian Army Brigades respectively, these two frontline leaders had won major battles against the North Vietnamese and Khmer Rouge at Angkor Wat after Cambodia’s entry into the Indochina War in March 1970. They then went on to drive the Khmer Rouge out of Kompong Thom after a month of house-to-house fighting. Sensing a group of warriors who were engaged in daily combat, defiance, and resistance to the Khmer Rouge, Beck decides to cast his lot with the soldiers and civilians of the beseiged town and spends the next fifteen months sharing their battles, victories, and eventual heartaches with them. Khy Hak is the tactical genius who defeats the Khmer Rouge at every turn, while Teap Ben is a colorful Provincial Governor who manages the political and social turn of events as forty-five thousand villagers are rescued from the Khmer Rouge in the space of one month. The success of the Eleventh Brigade infuriates the Khmer Rouge, who redeploy two crack regiments from the fighting around Phnom Penh to attack, defeat, and slaughter the defenders of Kompong Thom. Along with a French Priest and a Norwegian Doctor, Beck and a small team of Cambodian intelligence operatives stand side by side with the soldiers who eventually fight hand-to-hand with the enemy at the last line of defense on the plains of Kompong Thom. The Khmer Rouge are roundly defeated during the two month battle at Kompong Thom, but a year later, as the fighting intensifies around the capital of Phnom Penh it is clear to Beck and and his colleagues that Cambodia is doomed to fall. Beck and Khy Hak, who by 1975 has been promoted as Cambodia’s youngest-ever General and is holding back the enemy in the defense of the capital, instigate a daring plan to set up a resistance movement after Phnom Penh falls. The plan requires the technical support of Beck’s primary intelligence counterpart, a former teacher turned Army Lieutenant, Chhun Tep. Dispatching Tep on a secret mission with Khy Hak, Beck promises to help Tep’s mother, wife, six children, and two hundred endangered men, women, and children escape through fifty miles of mountainous jungle into Thailand. Due to a series of hasty decisions in Washington, Beck is in northern Cambodia when he is informed the U.S. Embassy will be evacuated the next day. He and his upcountry American colleagues are flown separately to Saigon, which is also sliding toward defeat. While Khy Hak and Chhun Tep continue to operate amid chaos on what becomes their fatal end, Beck returns to Cambodia via Thailand and manages to rescue Tep’s family and his two hundred other wards the day after Phnom Penh falls. As Cambodian soldiers continue to hold out and fight in the countryside, President Gerald Ford and Secretary of State Henry Kissenger rescind a promise made by the field advisors to resupply the resistance with arms and ammunition. The result is the end of days for Cambodia’s heroes and the beginning of what the Khmer Rouge called “Year Zero,” known in the West as “the Killing Fields." Read more

Along the Mekong, from northern Tibet to Lijiang, from Luang Prabang to Phnom Penh to Can Lo, I moved from one world to another, among cultural islands often ignorant of each other’s presence. Yet each island, as if built on shifting sands and eroded and reshaped by a universal sea, was re-forming itself, or was being remolded, was expanding its horizons or sinking under the rising waters of a cultural global warming. It was a journey between worlds, worlds fragiley conjoined by a river both ominous and luminescent, muscular and bosomy, harsh and sensuous. From windswept plateaus to the South China Sea, the Mekong flows for three thousand miles, snaking its way through Southeast Asia. Long fascinated with this part of the world, former New York Times correspondent Edward Gargan embarked on an ambitious exploration of the Mekong and those living within its watershed. The River’s Tale is a rare and profound book that delivers more than a correspondent’s account of a place. It is a seminal examination of the Mekong and its people, a testament to the their struggles, their defeats and their victories. Read more
