Presents "The Killing Fields: Photographs From The S-21 Death Camp". The portrait gallery of genocide. As such, it is the only photography book of its kind published in our time: Boys, girls, men, women, the sick and the old, who were photographed, many of them wearing their ID numbers (Number 1 being a very young boy), as they were checked into Tuol Sleng Prison. There, their unimaginable suffering proved, if proof were needed, that while Heaven is often merely a fantasy, Hell is real, a parallel universe to ordinary life on Planet Earth. Shackled, interrogated, starved, tortured, and driven mad before being executed by the Khmer Rouge, the subjects of "The Killing Fields" physically and symbolically represent their 200, 000 fellow human beings who were "processed" at various torture centers, of which Tuol Sleng, code-named S-21, was the most notorious. Pol Pot murdered 1.7 million of his people, more than half the entire Cambodian population, during his Reign of Terror between 1975 and 1979, as part of his plan to create the ideal, post-Maoist agrarian society, the fulfillment of the Chinese Cultural Revolution, to succeed where Mao failed. He ordered the killings in a systematic fashion, the logic behind them beyond sadistic, vengeful, or paranoid (although it was all of these as well). It was utopia-as-barbarism, a utopia that was thought out by Saloth Sar, the real name of Pol Pot, for his graduate-degree thesis at the University of Paris. Saloth Sar concluded that everyone, even a committed Marxist, will become a "microbe", which has no place in society if there was the slightest doubt about one's "purity". Anyone who was "impure" - namely, all human beings - needed to be "disinfected", that is, killed in order to pave the way for the New Society. "It is better to kill you by mistake than to keep you alive by mistake" (Pol Pot). An absolute "must-have" title for photography book collectors. This is a copy of the First Limited Edition of 3000 copies. This title is a great photography book.
