520 "In 1999, the media reported the arrest of Duch, aka the
Butcher of Tuol Sleng--the most notorious torturer and
executioner of the Cambodian genocide. Duch's unexpected
arrest after years in hiding presented 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."--Publisher's description.
