Description
Cambodia's Curse: The Modern History of a Troubled Land by Joel Brinkley A generation after the fall of the Khmer Rouge, Cambodia appears to have overcome its dark past. However, beneath the surface, the country remains haunted by the atrocities of its turbulent history. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Joel Brinkley's reporting on the fall of the regime that killed a quarter of the nation's population sheds light on the country's current state. Brinkley's extensive reporting in Cambodia reveals a population struggling with the legacy of the Khmer Rouge era. One-third to one-half of those who lived through this period have developed post-traumatic stress disorder, and its effects are being passed down to the next generation. This book provides a close-up look at the country, its people, and the historical roots of its modern-day behavior. Through his reporting, Brinkley illuminates the complexities of Cambodia's modern history, offering a nuanced understanding of the country's ongoing struggles and its path towards recovery.
