Written by Loung Ung, First They Killed My Father takes a reader into Cambodia during the time of Pol Pot. At the age of 5 her family if forced out of their home, and forced to work on collective farms with little food and the fear of found out. Loung Ung's book is a powerful inside look at genocide and it horrific effects.
A great book for 10/ 11 grade, both social studies and english teachers could use this for content in both areas.
