Description
Elizabeth Becker's masterful account of the Cambodian nightmare spans decades of turmoil, from the rise of the Khmer Rouge in 1975 to the death of its leader in 1998. The book weaves together a complex narrative, encompassing the era of French colonialism, the revival of Cambodian nationalism, and the brutal regime's impact on the country and the world. Through exclusive interviews with every Cambodian leader of the past quarter century, Becker sheds light on the darkness of Cambodia, illuminating the era with the intensity of a bolt of lightning.
