For The Sake Of All Living Things - Plot & Excerpts
If the neutral country is unwilling or unable to prevent this, the other belligerent has the right to take appropriate counteraction.’ ” —Harry G. Summers, Jr., Viet Nam War Almanac IT WAS SEVEN WEEKS before Nang laid eyes on Bok Roh. For seven weeks the energy released from escaping death propelled him. He had never felt freer, never as a Khmer boy, never as a conscript, never as a yothea of Angkar Leou. As he approached his thirteenth birthday he was free to live, free to die, free to kill. He was strong and highly trained in all the survival arts—mental as well as physical. Before he reached the border camp at Bu Ntoll, Nang trekked across the Southeast. At times he posed as a refugee, at times an orphan, at times a mute. He walked most of the distance. In Kampot he linked up with a Krahom guerrilla cell for several days without identifying himself or his mission. East of Takeo he discovered an NVA storage facility and shipping depot which made the warehouse areas of the Ho Chi Minh Trail look paltry.
