“My AR is very knowledgeable about the publishing protocols and had provided me with clear guidance. As a first time author, I was lost quite often in the process but she came to my rescue. I would like to have her as my AR again when I have a chance to have a second book published. All of the readers of my book told me that they are very impressed with the quality of the material, the pictures and images, the printing, and especially the coloring and formatting which make the book very easy and relaxing for them to read. I would recommend Outskirts Press to anyone who plans to publish his or her intellectual property. Great job was done for me.”

Later, he worked for the Defense Intelligence Agency as an analyst before receiving an honorable discharge from the Army with the rank of major.

From Cambodia to America: The New Beginning and Redemption
The civil war in the 1970s and the victory of the communist Khmer Rouge shocked humanity with its unmatched atrocities and destruction that uprooted the already much weakened Cambodian kingdom. The American-trained Khmer Special Forces performed gallantly, but it eventually folded to the Khmer Rouge. One of those Khmer Special Forces was Saren Thach. Ever since the end of this war in his native country of Cambodia on April 17, 1975, Saren Thach has been haunted by the memories of fallen comrades and lost family members, burdened with the regret and remorse that comes from war. His nightmares bring back the echoes of raging battles and smoke from gun barrels, both big and small, as opposing sides slugged at each other relentlessly. He recounts the deafening explosions of bombs dropped from combat aircraft, artillery rounds, and rocket fires shredding through the air. He recalls the ferocious hand-to-hand combat to hold on to a tiny tract of ground, and the bloodied corpses strewn across the landscape. There were valiant fighters on both sides, with uncommon bravery and sacrifice to serve the cause they believed in.
