'Thursday 17 April 1975 is the day that I will never forget until the day I die. That was the day the Khmer Rouge took over Phnom Penh and overthrew the government of General Lon Nol and his Republican Party...' Thus begins Firos Iseu's gripping memoir of his experiences during the Khmer Rouge's brutal regime in Cambodia between April 1975 and January 1979. At the tender age of 12, Iseu - whose 'revolutionary name', Comrade Sao, provides the book with its title - faced the horrors of the regime's first wave of killings, which at a stroke deprived him of his parents and elder siblings. Bearing a diverse heritage of Indian, Laotian, and Vietnamese roots, he was branded a '17 April' or 'new' person, marking him as an outsider and second-class citizen. Comrade Sao stands as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, showcasing the author's remarkable courage and resourcefulness in the face of terrifying adversity. This harrowing, unflinching and above all honest narrative sheds a necessary light on one of the darkest chapters of humanity of the past 50 years.
