Product Description:
[ The Master of Confessions: The Making of a Khmer Rouge Torturer By ( Author ) Jan-2015 Paperback
Review:
"A brilliant study in the mind of a zealous servant to a maniacal ideology."--George Packer in The New Yorker

"[The Master of Confessions is] a sobering story of a horrifying episode in recent history, rich in detail and thoroughly-researched. ... an unforgettable, overwhelming, exploration of a tragic period which shouldn't be forgotten or overlooked."--Publishers Weekly

"Superbly memorable. With chilling clarity, a veteran international journalist delineates the totalitarian ideology and horrific crimes of the leaders of Cambodia's Khmer Rouge. Cruvellier is an extremely articulate and compassionate observer."--Kirkus (Starred Review)

"An exceptional, infinitely troubling work, nothing escapes Thierry Cruvellier's attention - neither the public's reactions, nor the court's idiosyncrasies, the clashes between foreign and Cambodian lawyers, or each side's motivations and weaknesses."--Le Point

"A solemn and rigorous fresco, which will open the eyes of any honest man moved by genocide."--Le Monde Diplomatique

"You have to be talented, precise and infinitely patient to tell the story of a distant international trial - Thierry pulls off this feat masterly... It's the torturer's own account that draws us into this book - The Master of Confessions is fascinating."--Le Temps

"An unforgettable book. An impressive, thorough, and well-written depiction of the trial and its audience from the perspective of an outside observer, who through the cathartic experience of watching the trial reveals that 'torturers' are not so different from ourselves."--La Croix

"Thierry Cruvellier's The Master of Confessions is a book everyone should throw themselves into. The great reporter delivers a striking account of this lengthy trial. With rare talent, he manages to sketch out the dozen or so protagonists in this tragic show. "--Lire

"An exceptional narrative, which makes this book so much more than just an eyewitness account."--France Info

"Analytical, thorough and astute, Cruvellier ... steps back and lets his reporting do the talking. ... A work of exceptional quality."--Le Monde
