For those seeking to unravel the pages of Thai political history beyond textbooks.
Step into the shadows of October 6, 1976, a day of Thammasat University massacre—the darkest chapter in Thai political history. This book unravels the harrowing events when government officials and right-wing factions brutally claimed the lives of over 41 students and protestors opposing the return of Field Marshal Thanom Kittikachorn, Thailand's former prime minister. Despite making headlines worldwide, none of the perpetrators faced justice. Instead, a staggering 3,094 surviving students and protestors found themselves behind bars.
Humans Of October 6: Memories Of October 6, 1976 was published on the 47th anniversary of the tragedy, driven by the unwavering commitment to ensure this pivotal moment is never forgotten.
Within its pages, the book unfolds the narrative through the eyes of the students and protestors who were active participants in the event. Comprising 38 interviews, the book delves into the situation inside and outside of Thammasat University, the political context, the root causes of the unsettling incident, the enduring scars and traumas inflicted upon those present, and the altered lives of the survivors, forever changed by an event that time cannot erase.
