Description
Year of the Rabbit tells the true story of one family's desperate struggle to survive the murderous reign of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia. In 1975, the regime seized power and set about evacuating the country's major cities with brutal ruthlessness.
Cartoonist Tian Veasna was born just three days after the takeover, as his family joined the chaotic mass exodus from Phnom Penh. Stripped of any money or material possessions, they were forced to flee to the barren countryside along with thousands of others, where food was scarce and brutal violence a constant threat.
Based on firsthand accounts, Veasna's family recounts their harrowing experiences in the work camps, including bartering for goods, children being instructed to spy on their parents, and the devastating consequences of reading. A deeply personal account of one of the twentieth century's greatest tragedies, Year of the Rabbit is a powerful and moving portrayal of survival against all odds.
