Soul Survivors gives voice to the women and children who stayed in Cambodia after the genocide (1975-1979), when nearly two million people died from execution, starvation, or disease. It also includes the stories of two refugees who came to the US as orphans, returning as young adults to help their country. These engaging personal narratives reveal that hope and kindness survived the darkest period of Cambodia’s recent history.
Sixty-four photographs draw the reader into contemporary Cambodia to witness the survivors’ courageous work to rebuild their lives, families, and culture in one of the poorest nations of the world. Soul Survivors includes a chronology of Cambodian history, a map, and an index. Additional chapters describe the Khmer Rouge, the role of the US, the landmine situation, and the Buddhist peace movement.

Rough Guide to Southeast Asia (Rough Guide Travel Guides S.) by Rough Guides
Very useful guidebook for travelling through the S.E.Asia
All the SEA in about 1000 pages. I travelled from Indonesia to Cambodia and for every city and place I visited, this guide always gave useful and up-to-date informations on budget/upmarket accommodations, things to see, transports, nightlife.
Particulary appreciated the advices for crossing the borders and the overland routes in SEA. Obviously all the descriptions are very concise, but u get what u need for your trip, and sometimes the less turistic areas are left-out or shortly pointed out (though it\'s even nicer to find new, interesting places by yourself ...). But the only alternative is to buy a guidebook on each country u want visit in Asia!
Highlight: useful maps (more accurated than LP in my opinion) and complete urban bus-routes, listings on trains/coaches/planes/boats links for all the destinations within a country.
Reliable and up-to-date tips.
Definitely worths its price!
