Biografi sunting
Pada awal usia dua puluh tahunan, Kiernan mengunjungi Kamboja namun hengkang sebelum Khmer Merah mengusir seluruh warga asing pada 1975. Meskipun ia tampaknya meragukan skala genosida pada zaman Kamboja Demokrat, ia mengubah pikirannya pada 1978[1][2][3] setelah permulaan serangkaian wawancara dengan ratusan pengungsi asal Kamboja. Ia mempelajari bahasa Khmer, melakukan riset di Kamboja dan para pengungsi di luar negeri, dan menulis beberapa buku tentang topik tersebut.
