Description: Khmer Rise by Patrick Keo Pat Keos autobiography, which details a dangerous journey from war refugee to a successful entrepreneur is packed, cover to cover, with deeply haunting stories of fear, death, and hope from a time when America "called it quits" after a six years military involvement in the Cambodian War. He was just a young boy when the United States invaded Cambodia with carpet-bombing, the legacy of the Nixon Kissinger doctrine that gave rise to the Pol Pot genocide-the ruthless mass murder of 2 million Cambodians. In Pats words, "There was no hope; killing and dying were all around us; fear was everywhere; I slept awake, wondering when I would be next!" His father and sister couldnt make it. Cheating death, he chose "courage" to escape a "living hell" to begin a new life in a new land thousands of miles across the sea. As a poor refugee, Pat managed to survive the horrors through "sheer will" and "self-determination"-ultimately leading to great success in both the academic and business worlds and to the achievement of "truly living the dream." People view his life as an inspiration for hope and love-turning the pain of the past into the purpose of the present-a campaign for equality. "Youre designed to win; if you believe it, you can do it!" TRULY A "MUST-READ" ADVENTURE, a story of admiration. If you find no inspiration here, you may not find one anywhere. Aloha!
