Confessions from Tuol Sleng

Over four thousand confession dossiers have come to light at the DK interrogation facility at Tuol Sleng, Phnom Penh and in other documentary collections in the city. In 1991-1993 the S-21 archive was microfilmed under the auspices of Cornell University and became available to scholars after the first edition of this book was published. I have discussed the archive in depth in my book Voices from S-21: Terror and History in Pol Pot’s Secret Prison (Berkeley, Calif., 1999). In 1990-1992 I consulted many confessions that cast light on Pol Pot’s political career.

The confessions are listed by name, date, revolutionary pseudonym (if any), and position as given on the cover sheet of each text.
