The Khmer Rouge: The Notorious History and Legacy of the Communist Regime That Ruled Cambodia in the 1970s

I definitely learned a lot about Cambodia that i never would have guessed. While i have read much about Vietnam in the 1960s-70s, so much on the region was unknown to me. Many of the factoids about the Khmer Rouge were known, i was unaware of Pol Pot's past. For a short read yet full of good information this would be a good read.

If you're looking for a General high level overview of Cambodian political history, this is the book for you. It doesn't go into a ton of detail in the Khmer Rouge but is a great starting point for learning about the political climate of this part of southeast Asia.

I love history and Charles River Editors make it so easy to keep you informed! As I have aged I find that I have forgotten many things and this is a quick way to refresh my knowledge. Thank you, guys!

I knew that the Khmer Rouge committed genocide but had no idea of the sheer brutality of those despotic rulers. It was frightening how a nation could go from civilized to terror and death so quickly and absolutely.
