- Summary:
- A literary and historical tour de force: one man's astonishing experience in a land of pristine beauty on the eve of one of the 20th century's most barbaric spectacles. Bizot was a scholar of Khmer pottery in rural Cambodia in 1971--the days leading inexorably to genocide. "The Gate" recounts the nightmare of his arrest and captivity on suspicion of being an American spy.
