Editor reviews
During the Vietnam War, violence and unrest spilled into the neighboring country of Cambodia. The result was a four-year reign of the Khmer Rouge and the death of millions of individuals. Henry Kamm, a Pulitzer Prize-winning correspondent for the New York Times, has spent the better part of three decades in the Southeast Asian country, and what he's produced here is a wealth of information and observations, narrated expertly by Walter Dixon, intended to help Westerners understand more about Cambodia's troubled past and their return to peace and progress.
Summary
Based on his observations over three decades, Henry Kamm, Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times Southeast Asia correspondent, unravels the complexities of Cambodia. Kamm's invaluable document - a factual and personal account of its troubled history - gives the Western listener the first clear understanding of this magic land's past and present.

A journalist s account of an unlikely civil war
Henry Kamm, holocaust survivor went on to have a stellar career with New York Times.
This is a tragic story of a country sandwiched between Soviet Russia and Red China.
First and only time the Communist nations fought by proxy.

Insightful history
Was expecting a book dominated by Pol Pot not so, and the before and after is just as complex to grasp. A country failed by so many internal and external "leaders" but still has something special about it.
