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.
