not a book but The Killing Fields -- nm - charlie Apr 25, 13:48 10
- yes ... saw this when I was in college - and it was a recent Triva question too - it's an excellent film -- nm - JenBro Apr 25, 13:59 9
  - just went to the IMDB page for this - I completely forgot Spaulding Grey was in this ... sheesh - incredible cast -- nm - JenBro Apr 25, 14:01 8

        good to know - thanks -- nm - JenBro Apr 25, 14:18
check the Wikipedia page, the end will likely have books related to it -- nm - Beaker Apr 25, 13:44 2
