Hearing that his father was dead was very nearly the last straw for Radha Manickam. In two years he’d lost almost his entire family under the brutal regime of Cambodia’s Khmer Rouge. It seemed that God had abandoned him, and one night while lying on an anthill in the middle of a rice paddy, he decided to end it all. But then hope arrived–in a most unlikely place, and a most unexpected way.

This series is based on my recent interviews with Radha, along with my 2016 book about his experiences. The book, audiobook, and this series are titled Intended for Evil by Les Sillars.

After the communist Khmer Rouge took over Cambodia on April 17, 1975, they herded everybody out of the cities and into socialist “cooperatives.” Radha Manickam and family were sent to the country’s northwest, where they and 1.8 million others were dumped out of trains and told to start building villages.

It was Year Zero, supposedly the start of the agrarian utopia promised by their Marxist masters.

Instead, Radha watched the Khmer Rouge turn Cambodia into the realm of the dead.

This series tells a hard and brutal story, but it’s also a story of hope and, ultimately, redemption. 

It’s based on my recent interviews with Radha, along with my 2016 book about his experiences.

The book and this series are titled “Intended for Evil.”
