For the Sake of All Living Things

**John M. Del Vecchio’s searing bestseller *The 13th Valley* was praised as one of the most powerful works of literature to emerge from the Vietnam experience. Now back in print comes an even more stunning achievement: *For the Sake of All Living Things.***

In this unflinching and unforgettable epic saga, Del Vecchio re-creates the violence and horror of Vietnam’s parallel tragedy—the Cambodian holocaust—as seen through the eyes of a Cambodian family and the American adviser whose fate becomes irrevocable linked with theirs. A sweeping tale of savagery and survival that pits parents and children against both the North Vietnamese invaders and the unprecedented ferocity of the Khmer Rouge, *For the Sake of All Living Things* is an unrelenting, ultimately inspiring chronicle of conflict and redemption in the killing fields.
