"The most important examination of the subject so far... Without in any way denying the horror and brutality of the Khmers Rouges, the essays adopt a principle of detached analysis which makes their conclusion far more significant and convincing than the superficial images emanating from the television or cinema screen."--The Times Literary Supplement "A book that belongs on the shelf of every scholar interested in Cambodia, revolution, or communism."--Perspectives on Political Science
