"Grappling with the enormity of Cambodia's trauma, Nishikanta Verma embarks on a quest for a greater understanding of one worst crimes of the 20th century. This search has resulted in this deeply heartfelt and compassionate account of his journey to Cambodia and the heart of the Khmer Rouge killing machine. A passionate story of one man's quest for the truth."Nic DunlopAuthor'The Lost ExecutionerA bustling city with old-world charm, Phnom Penh became witness to the start of one of the worst genocides in modern history, the effects of which haunt Cambodia today. While well documented in books and especially the movie "The Killing Fields" and more recently, "First They Killed My Father", the Cambodian genocide remained outside mainstream discussions on 20th century tragedies. It was not till a young doctor, Haing Ngor brought the story to life on screen that the world took notice and it was not till I read his book in 2013 that this story came home to me, devastated me and compelled me to travel to Cambodia. I went to Phnom Penh struck by how little I knew of where this country had come from and how much it had suffered. I personally knew plenty about Vietnam and its war, I knew of Angkor Wat of course but to read about the Khmer Rouge, their march on to Phnom Penh, its fall on April 1975 and the subsequent trauma of the Cambodians was all new. I was aghast at my own ignorance and at the sheer scale of this epic tragedy, of which Phnom Penh had been the epicenter. This book describes this three-day trip. It is a travelogue but it is also my attempt to contextualize it. I have added pieces of history and my own reflections as I moved through the time and spaces of this magnificent nation, full of the warmest people I have ever encountered. I will never forget Cambodia. The country and its people changed me. I hope you get a chance to experience The Kingdom of Wonder too.

The founding of Phnom Penh dates back to 1431, the fall of the Angkor Empire. The Khmer king, Ponhea Yat, abandoned Angkor forever and sought safety in the south of Cambodia, at the confluence of three rivers, the Mekong, Tonle Sap and Bassac. There was a small man-made hill (phnom) on that site, with a temple at the top built by a wealthy holy woman, Lady Penh. So, the town was called Phnom Penh. During Sihanouk's rule in the 1950s and 1960s Phnom Penh became a modern capital city with hotels, cinemas, industrial sites and housing projects. Phnom Penh's tragedy began in May 1975 when the Khmer Rouge drove the people from the city, blew up the national bank and the Catholic cathedral and allowed the beautiful city to rot. Since January 1979, when the Khmer Rouge was driven out of Phnom Penh, the city has been gradually recovering. It now faces a period of development which is transforming the city. This book is a record of old and new Phnom Penh and an attempt to capture the spirit of a city that has survived war, genocide and political turmoil.

In a new and updated second edition, this book--first published in 1983--provides a detailed review of the end of the Vietnam War. Drawing on the author's eyewitness reporting and extensive research, the book relies on carefully reported facts, not partisan myths, to reconstruct the war's last years and harrowing final months. The catastrophic suffering those events brought to ordinary Vietnamese civilians and soldiers is vividly portrayed. The largely unremembered wars in Cambodia and Laos are examined as well, while new material in an updated final chapter points out troubling parallels between the Vietnam War and America's wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Between 1970 and 1975 Jon Swain, the English journalist portrayed in David Puttnam's film, The Killing Fields, lived in the lands of the Mekong river. This is his account of those years, and the way in which the tumultuous events affected his perceptions of life and death as Europe never could. He also describes the beauty of the Mekong landscape - the villages along its banks, surrounded by mangoes, bananas and coconuts, and the exquisite women, the odours of opium, and the region's other face - that of violence and corruption.

" "Without Honor" is a courageous and honest book about a period of American history which most would rather forget." -- Seymour Hersh A gripping account of one of the century's most harrowing human catastrophes -- the fall of South Vietnam -- "Without Honor" captures the tragedy and the irony of the Vietnam War's last days and examines the consequences of the American military and political decisions that had sustained the war effort for a generation only to lead to the worst foreign policy failure in the nation's history. Arnold Isaacs, who spent the final years of the war in Vietnam as a correspondent for the Baltimore "Sun," describes his firsthand observations of the collapse of Cambodia and South Vietnam -- from the 1973 Paris peace agreement to the American evacuation of Saigon and its aftermath -- with heartbreaking detail, from the devastated battlefields and villages to the boats filled with terrified refugees. He also provides an historical record of unparalleled accuracy and depth about the strategic decisions made during the war's end game and the intelligence failure that led Americans and their Southeast Asian allies to underestimate the strength and perseverance of the enemy. Drawing on previously classified military documents, field reports from American advisors, eyewitness accounts by soldiers and civilians, and North Vietnamese propaganda broadcasts, Isaacs offers a compelling and compassionate portrait of the impact of America's "Vietnamization" of the conflict and a bracing indictment of political and military leaders in the United States and both Vietnams for the massive human suffering that accompanied the end of the war. "Vivid and very passionate...[Isaacs] succeeds so brilliantly that one almost wishes -- before our near-universal national forgetfulness and instinct for self-justification take over for good -- that all candidates for public office could be required to pass a public examination of its contents." -- Gene Lyons, "Newsweek" "Impassioned... Isaacs's anguished chapter on the collapse of the city of Da Nang, where the first American Marines had landed in 1965, is reason enough to read his fast-paced report." -- John Spragens, Jr., "Commonweal" "A sound and interesting narrative, which succeeds in combining vivid images of the war with the statistics and analysis that are essential of historical perspective... A good book." -- "Times Literary Supplement" "A wonderful weave of Isaacs' eyeball-reporting and subsequent, intense research. The thud and blood of combat in the wailing of mortally wounded nations are here. So are the softer sounds of negotiations, riffled documents, the sigh of broken agreements, and the tinkle of glass on conference tables." -- Paul Dean, "Los Angeles Times Book Review" "The most complete account of the fall of Indochina... A biting indictment of American policy... The immediacy and impact of his book is compelling." -- "Reviews in American History"
