Description

Explore a deep look into one of the most significant legal proceedings in Cambodian history. Man or Monster?: The Trial of a Khmer Rouge Torturer examines the life of Duch, a former math teacher who became the commandant of the S-21 security center. During the Khmer Rouge reign in the mid-to-late 1970s, this center was the site where thousands were interrogated and executed. Author Alexander Hinton provides a detailed analysis of the 2009 trial for crimes against humanity. The book explores the conflicting perspectives presented in court, where the prosecution viewed Duch as evil, while his defense argued he was simply following orders. Using ethnographic writing and extensive fieldwork, Hinton brings the courtroom and the historical context to life. This work is a significant resource for readers interested in anthropology, sociology, and legal history. Through hundreds of interviews and firsthand experience attending the trial, the text offers a nuanced perspective on the complexity of human behavior and justice in the wake of mass atrocities.
