"Kari Rene Hall's chronicle of hopes, fears and tragedies of a dispossessed people is a moving and disturbing document. It is this sort of photographic act of witness that causes the henchmen of dictators to put their hands over the camera's lens."

 Peter Howe, Director of Photography, Life

"This is an exquisite, and exquisitely painful book -- better, in both words and pictures, than anything I've seen on the ordeal of life in the refugee camps...Beyond the Killing Fields is extraordinary reportage, clearly written with love for these people by just as clearly done with great honesty."

 Sydney Schanberg, Columnist, New York Newsday,

former Reporter and Editor, New York Times

"To anyone who wants to know and to understand, Beyond the Killing Fields is a searing eyewitness account of cultural genocide of Cambodian refugees living in the limbo of a squalid prison camp. More than just a great book, it's a record and an indictment and will last for generations to come."

 Haing S. Ngor, Author of A Cambodian Odyssey,

Academy Award winner for The Killing Fields

 This book, in the tradition of concerned documentary photography, brings to life a ravaged people attempting to build their lives and a country anew. The photographs are beautiful, insightful, warm and sympathetic -- much like the people pictured."

 Rich Clarkson, photographic books and exhibitions,

former Director of Photography, National Geographic

"Kari Rene Hall's Beyond the Killing Fields serves as a powerful documentary of the lives of the displaced -- the inhuman conditions, the despair and gentle moments of hope. The words and pictures show a sensitivity and compassion for the plight of the virtually forgotten people of evacuation Site 2."

 Carol Guzy, Photojournalist, Washington Post
