Robert Carmichael (b. 1969) is a South African journalist who spent a decade reporting from Cambodia for print, radio and television on a wide variety of stories that have people at their heart - from the Khmer Rouge tribunal to reconciliation, health to the environment, and poverty to tourism. Carmichael first came to Cambodia in 2001, staying for two years as the managing editor of the Phnom Penh Post, the country's oldest English-language newspaper. He returned to Cambodia in 2009 to cover the trial of Comrade Duch, one of the central characters in his new book titled "When Clouds Fell from the Sky". He enjoys both non-fiction and fiction, and is particularly interested in books that examine people's ability to endure the most difficult of circumstances. That focus accounts for his decision to write his first book, which - over five decades and through the lives of five people - tells the reader what happened to Cambodia under Pol Pot's 1975-79 rule and why that happened, as well as the efforts made by a nation and by ordinary people to come to terms with that period. He is currently working on a novel.
