Who Is FARI?

Fari is an author and independent researcher born in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

TESTIMONIALS

"This book gave me a new way of thinking about what leadership actually requires. Fari does not present a biography in the conventional sense. She presents a human being carrying an impossible weight, and she does it with clarity and care. A book worth reading slowly."

- Daniel Mercer

"Fari writes with a combination of historical honesty and genuine feeling that is rare. This is not a flattering political account. It is an honest examination of what it costs to protect a nation, and what it looks like when someone chooses to pay that cost without stepping back."

- Jonathan Reeves

"The Father Who Shielded and Never Left is an important piece of work. It takes a period of history that many readers may know little about and brings it to life through grounded, thoughtful writing. The portrait of leadership at the center of the book is one that stays with you."

- Aisha Rahman
