Duch's unexpected arrest after years in hiding presented Fran ois Bizot with his first opportunity to confront the man who'd held him captive for three months in 1973, and whose strange sense of justice had resulted in Bizot's being the only Westerner to survive imprisonment by the Khmer Rouge. Only after his release had Bizot learned that his former captor--and, in a way, his only companion in those three months--had gone on to exterminate more than 10,000 Cambodians. Taking part in the trial as a witness, with Duch the sole defendant, would force Bizot to return to the heart of darkness. This is the testimony of what he discovered--about the torturer and about himself--on that harrowing journey.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Francois Bizot\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 030747514X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780307475145\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/02\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.98h x 5.26w x 0.58d","brand":"Francois Bizot","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44652085772543,"sku":"9780307475145","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0c11040b-59fa-4e82-a298-8ada0c64e1fd.jpg?v=1704214496","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/facing-the-torturer-francois-bizot-9780307475145","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
