to 2008 and the UN-sponsored Khmer Rouge tribunal."Deeply detailed, meticulously reported. . . . Important [and] valuable." -Nation"In this authoritative work, Ben Kiernan . . . explores the reasons why Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge revolution became a Cambodian nightmare." -Richard Gough, Times Higher Education Supplement"Perhaps the most complete [account of Pol Pot's terror] and the closest to Cambodian sources." -Economist"One of the most important contributions to the subject so far." -R. B. Smith, Asian Affairs"Kiernan, the leading authority on modern Cambodia, meticulously examines Pol Pot's killing machine and clears up many misconceptions found in earlier studies. . . . An important book for students of genocide as well as scholars of Southeast Asia." -Library Journal"[A] detailed and chilling history." -Asiaweek"The most detailed history to date of the genocidal Khmer Rouge regime. . . .
