Beyond the killing fields : war writings / Sydney Schanberg ; compiled and edited by Robert Miraldi. - 1st ed. - Washington, D.C. : Potomac Books, ©2010. - 1 online resource (xii, 228 pages)
Includes index.
How I came to know war and why this book -- Cambodia, an unnecessary war -- The killing fields -- East Pakistan fights to become independent Bangladesh -- Vietnam, 1972 -- Return to Cambodia: a military coup -- The cover-up of U.S. POWs left behind in Vietnam -- The Bush doctrine in Iraq.
This first-ever anthology of the war reporting and commentary of Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Sydney Schanberg is drawn from the hundreds of articles he has written for the New York Times, Newsday, the Village Voice, and various magazines. The centerpiece of the collection is his signature work, "The Death and Life of Dith Pran" (New York Times Magazine). This article became the foundation of Roland Joffé's acclaimed film The Killing Fields (1984), which explored the Khmer Rouge-led genocide in Cambodia during the late 1970s.
