In June 1979, tens of thousands of Cambodian refugees, already scarred by famine and the terror of the Khmer Rouge, were driven at gunpoint down the mined cliffs of Preah Vihear. No Refuge is a searing work of historical research that reconstructs this atrocity through survivor testimony, diplomatic cables, and humanitarian records. Author Manith Chhoeng, himself a survivor of the Killing Fields, exposes how Thailand’s policies of “humane repatriation” masked forced returns and mass fatalities. The book traces the collapse of Democratic Kampuchea, the desperate exodus to Thailand, and the betrayal that turned borders into weapons. It examines the silence of allies, the complicity of Cold War geopolitics, and the failure of international law to protect the vulnerable. From the chaos of border camps, mud, ration lines, covert searches, and schools built from scrap, to the echoes of artillery in 2025, No Refuge shows how unresolved history resurfaces in new forms. It is both a chronicle of suffering and a call to conscience: memory as resistance, testimony as justice, and remembrance as law. This is not just history, it is a demand for recognition, memorialisation, and the discipline of “never again.” A witness for the dead. A voice for the living.
