A very powerful book that shows the circumstances that led to the to takeover by the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia/Kampuchea. Although fiction, it has the verisimilitude of reality as it covers the village recruitment and training of the killers in the Pol Pot regime that would terrorize Cambodia in the mid-70s. This is an excellent supplement to the film - " The Killing Fields." Brilliant account of the Pol Pot / Khmer Rouge years in Cambodia - VERY HARD to read: graphic descriptions of torture... But well-written, thoughtful expose of the reality of a most brutal regime. One cannot write convincingly of such a time and place without infusing one's writing with the reality of that kind of unimaginable violence. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
John M. Del Vecchio s searing bestseller "The 13th Valley" was praised as one of the most powerful works of literature to emerge from the Vietnam experience. Now back in print comes an even more stunning achievement: "For the Sake of All Living Things."In this unflinching and unforgettable epic saga, Del Vecchio re-creates the violence and horror of Vietnam s parallel tragedy the Cambodian holocaust as seen through the eyes of a Cambodian family and the American adviser whose fate becomes irrevocable linked with theirs. A sweeping tale of savagery and survival that pits parents and children against both the North Vietnamese invaders and the unprecedented ferocity of the Khmer Rouge, "For the Sake of All Living Things" is an unrelenting, ultimately inspiring chronicle of conflict and redemption in the killing fields."

I read somewhere that For the Sake of All Living Things is actually the second book in a trilogy about the Vietnam war, Cambodia and the Pol Pot year zero cleansing, and veterans coming home. ( )
