A comprehensive and detailed political history of Cambodia between April 1975 and 1982, the period of Democratic Kampuchea, known as the Pol Pot regime, and the first three years of the succeeding People's Republic of Kampuchea.

Cambodia 1975-1982 presents a unique and carefully researched analysis of the Democratic Kampuchea regime of Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge (1975-79) and the early years of the People's Republic of Kampuchea (1979-89). When it was first published in 1984, the book provided one of the few balanced and reasoned voices in a world shocked by media reports of incredible brutality. Now, 15 years later, the book remains unsurpassed as an original historical document bringing a new interpretation based on the earliest primary sources
