Cambodia: Year Zero

Rating:
Summary: devestating
Review: I first read Ponchaud's work some 25 yrs. ago. I was shocked, devastated, angry and stunned. As a university student I naively thought that this sort of thing ended during the Second War. Sadly, the years have taught me that this is not the case. I think in our current state of affairs that this study should be re-read before we (the USA) set up other nations for failure as we did in Cambodia and seem intent on doing in Afghanistan and Iraq. "Those who forget the past are condemed to repeat its mistakes." Let us not forget. Ponchaud's work must be kept alive.
