[edit] Trivia

I've removed:

== Trivia == Dith Pran is quoted on Loung Ung's website: "Loung has written an eloquent and powerful narrative as a young witness to the Khmer Rouge atrocities. This is an important story that will have a dramatic impact on today’s readers and inform generations to come." The book he is referring to is First They Killed My Father.

  1. This looks like trivia and is even labeled as trivia. Something purporting to be an encyclopedia does not need trivia.
  2. It tells us nothing about Dith Pran.
  3. Within this article, it looks like a gratuitous link to the article on the book, and a gratuitous plug for the book. -- Hoary 14:57, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Book not mentioned

Since the article page seems to be locked at the moment, due to the recent passing of Dith Pran, I would ask that once it is open an addition be made to mentioned that the movie The Killing Fields was inspired by a 1980 Sydney Schanberg book caled "The Death and Life of Dith Pran"Expat Justin (talk) 08:12, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
