Today I rewatched the film The Killing Fields. Four CH-53 helicopters and crew from my Marine squadron were using during the filming. There were no close up shots of my buddies; but a couple of them can say they appeared in the movie. 
After it ended, I got on the Google and found the book on which The Killing Fields is based. The Death and Life of Dith Pran, written by Pulitzer Prize winning reporter and author Sydney Schanberg. I found the entire book on https://archive.org/ , where I was able to read for free. It is a short, 78 page account including several pages of photographs. But, it was well written and a nice complement to the freshly watched film version. Highly recommend both.

I just started this one the other day and am thoroughly enjoying it - this fellow's writing style is very similar to Ben Macintyre's, most entertaining; this is the first book of an award-winning trilogy and I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the series:
