Angebote / Angebote:

November 15, 1979 - Cambodia, Southern Zone: I've managed to escape recapture and have walked across half of the South, trying to find whatever is left of my shattered family. Now, I must turn north. To try to get through to Phnom Penh, and then to my village, Prai Anchaan. I know what lies ahead of me. A wasteland of communes evacuated and stripped of food, market towns deserted four years ago, burned buildings, UXOs, mined roads and little water. But I don't know who lies ahead of me in this tormented landscape. If I run into Vietnamese minesweeping crews, will they leave me alone? If I run into the Vietnamese army, what will they do to me? There are still rogue cadres around, travelling in packs, if they find me, will they take me hostage against capture by the Vietnamese? But there's a fourth scenario. If I run into my own army, and they figure out I'm a deserter, they'll shoot me. Four enemies. And any one of them could be anywhere. Because, since the Vietnamese invasion, the whole country is a war zone. There's no front line. A true story of survival.
