Under the Naga Tail by Mae Bunseng Taing

Under the Naga Tail by Mae Bunseng Taing

This captivating memoir of a young man's daring escape from his life under Cambodia's brutal Khmer Rouge regime will leave readers utterly engrossed until the final page. Forced from his home with his family, teenager Mae Taing struggles to endure years of constant starvation, backbreaking labor, and ruthless cruelty from his captors. Undaunted, he retains hope and unflagging perseverance, eventually immigrating to the United States as a refugee, escaping the horrors of the Cambodian genocide-an atrocity that the world must never forget. As readers root for Mae to survive the impossible, they will be awestruck by the depth of determination behind his struggle to escape Pol Pot's murderous tyranny and will be inspired by the power of an indomitable human will. This beautifully written memoir is not only an incredible story of survival, but provides a common recognition that in all humans exists a spirit that can break free from the imprisonment of fear and hurt. Under the Naga Tail will undoubtedly find its deserved place among the most epic true stories of survival and triumph.
