The intimate and heartbreaking story of the disappearance of one man, and the decades of suffering that followed as his family searched for answers.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 368 pages

Publisher: Little, Brown Book Group


An outstanding book of astonishing power, it leaves readers with a deep ache in their hearts. JON SWAIN, a writer and foreign correspondent, and the author of "River of Time," has crafted a profoundly moving tale that intricately weaves together the interconnected stories of a victim, his surviving family, and members of the regime. Through this captivating narrative, Robert Carmichael vividly brings to life the darkness that engulfed Cambodia, offering a perspective that surpasses mere statistics. I have not encountered a comparable book about these horrors. ADAM HOCHSCHILD, an award-winning author of "King Leopold's Ghost," has praised the book, stating that it offers an intimate and heartbreaking account of the disappearance of one man and the decades of suffering endured by his family as they searched for answers. Seth Mydans, a former Southeast Asia correspondent for the "New York Times," also commended the memoir, describing it as a poignant exploration of Phnom Penh's infamous S-21 prison and its commander, Comrade Duch, as well as Cambodia's descent into terror. During the Khmer Rouge's four-year reign of terror, approximately two million people lost their lives in Cambodia. In "Tell Me What Happened to My Father," journalist Robert Carmichael delves into the tragic story of a single family and their quest to uncover the fate of their husband and father. Through this poignant memoir, Carmichael sheds light on the profound tragedy of a nation.
