Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Sam Bith (1933?-February 15, 2008) was a Cambodian guerilla commander, convicted murderer for Khmer Rouge, and former deputy to its military head Ta Mok. On July 26, 1994, Bith and his fleet of rebels ambushed a train carrying the three backpackers - Australian David Wilson, Briton Mark Slater and Frenchman Jean-Michel Braquet, with at least ten Cambodians being killed in the attack itself. The group held the three foreigners and several Cambodians under "miserable conditions" at Vine Mountain rebel base in the southern Cambodian province of Kampot.
