Tomorrow I’m Dead

How a 17-Year-Old Killing Field Survivor Became the Cambodian Freedom Army’s Greatest Soldier

By: Bun Yom

Narrated by: Bill Chandler

This is Bun Yom’s story of his capture by the Khmer Rouge at fourteen-years-old - and the unmatched suffering, courage, and heroism that ensued.

After three years as a killing-field slave, seventeen-year-old Bun Yom escaped from the Khmer Rouge and became a freedom fighter. Using his wisdom, courage, and infinite compassion, Bun rescued thousands of Cambodian people and soon became the Cambodian Freedom Fighters’ greatest soldier. Tomorrow I’m Dead is the only known first-person account of the freedom fighter’s heroic liberation of slaves from the Khmer Rouge killing fields.

This production concludes with an exclusive interview with the author, which includes untold stories such as Bun’s use of crocodiles to escape enemy gunfire. Also included is an epilogue in the author’s own voice offering a message of encouragement and hope.

Bun Yom arrived in the United States with not one penny, with only the clothes he was wearing, and without knowing a single word of English. Through hard work, he now has his own home, a family, a restaurant, and many friends. It took twenty years before he was ready to write about his years in the killing fields, but for the sake of kids everywhere, he has finally done it.

Excellent Autobiography! Some reader errors.

The only reason I knock one star off is because this could have benefited from a through proof-listen prior to release. The reading was clear, lovely, and competent, but there were errors that should have been eliminated in the end-production process. It is absolutely still worth the listen, and an important piece of first-hand history, so don't let the errors put you off!

fantástico

Uma história de vida incrível. vale a leitura
Uma lição e vida para todos nós

Lacking detail, feeling

The narrator didn't seem to put much feeling into the story...and the story itself seems to lack detail.

I don't know what to say.

Regardless of the author's grasp of English, he writes in such a way that there's no beating around the bush. To the story, it boggles the mind. It's not clear why, after story's such as his, people could support let alone advocate Marxism on any form.
This story broke my heart and I will remember it always.

one of the greatest books ive read, a true heroe

a true heroe, a man who took every oportunity to do good, to treat people as humans in even the worst cases
