Reviews

-This book represents the distilled wisdom of a lifetime's research by the world's leading expert on the Khmer Rouge regime. Kiernan's comparative analysis with the Indonesian occupation of East Timor is especially valuable. A must read for all concerned with the early detection of genocide.- --Peter Carey, author of East Timor at the Crossroads and professor of history, Trinity College, Oxford University
