Dear Kobe: Memoir of a Cambodian Genocide Survivor

Dear Kobe is horrific, tragic, inspirational, and miraculous. It stands as an important reminder of how precious freedom is and how carefully it should be guarded. Sidoeun (Sid) Sean grew up in Cambodia where, as a young father, he faced Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge reign of terror upon his country. Drafted as a soldier for the Cambodian Army before the takeover, the risks for Sid and his family were even greater. His survival was an absolute blessing from God. Sid preserved these memories for his young son, Kobe, with the assistance of writer Patricia Collins Schwindt. Kobe was raised in America, long after the Cambodian genocide. Without his father's story being recorded, Kobe might never know what it was like to endure such atrocities or the wisdom that came from it. In preserving his stories for Kobe, Sid has also provided an important eyewitness account to the world of what happens when freedom is lost and communism takes hold.
