The Year of Living Stupidly by James Eckardt
 Boom, Bust and Cambodia A Journo's Meandering, Schizophrenic, Rollercoaster Journal ... BOOM! "There we were in Pattaya - sunburned, stuffed with seafood, reeking of beer - a busload of journalists cruising like lords down a neon strip of bars pulsating with hookers. A police escort led our bus, provided by the transvestite "Tiffany Show". Above the driver, a TV was blaring a video of bare-breasted drag queens." In the good old days of Bangkok's boom, it was all freebies, junkets, and jaunts with the gliterati. Nice work if you could get it! And as associate editor of Manager magazine, James Eckardt could. |

The Murderous Revolution by Bunhaeng Ung and Martin Stuart Fox
The Khmer Rouge Years The Murderous Revolution. It was in 1975 that the Khmer Rouge seized power in Cambodia, and instituted a reign of terror and brutality which gradually became known in the rest of the world. Cities were emptied, and the entire population forced out to work in the countryside. Hundreds of thousands of officials, army officers and intellectuals were murdered, and as many as two million people died of malnutrition and disease from 1975 until the Vietnamese intervention in 1979. This book tells the story of those years. It recounts the personal experiences of a young student of fine arts, who lived to draw what he had witnessed, and to tell his story. |

Cambodian Interlude by Tom Riddle
A Insightful Account of the Cambodian UN Election Cambodian Interlude. Told by irreverent American United Nations Volunteer Tom Riddle, this is an inside look at the UN in the field and at life in Cambodia as the country emerges from the holocaust and international isolation. Arriving in Cambodia just a week after the UN begins what will be its largest operation ever, the author offers a rare, often humorous glimpse of the chaos behind the statesmanship and the rocky path to Cambodia's triumphant 1993 election. |

The Black Swan by Anthony Aikman
Written in the same vein of The Little Prince, this is a tale about a child on a spiritual odyssey, his conscience his only compass. The plight of homeless Cambodian children and the fate of their turbulent country provide a backdrop for the tale. Full of allusions and ironies, this illustrated book is in effect a philosophical debate. Thought-provoking yet easy to read, it looks into the very nature of human being. |

Off the Rails in Phnom Penh by Amit Gilboa
Into the Dark Heart of Guns, Girls and Ganja "Like a gonzo from Hunter S. Thompson." Time "This book is phenomenal. I will never forget it." The Nation "... invigorating, exciting, packed full of fun ..." Bangkok Metro Phnom Penh is a city of beauty and degradation, tranquillity and violence, and tradition and transformation; a city of temples and brothels, music and gunfire, and festivals and coups. But for many, it's simply an anarchic celebration of insanity and indulgence. Whether it's the $2 wooden-shack brothels, the ganja-pizza restaurants, the AK-47 fireworks displays, or the intricate brutality of Cambodian politics, Phnom Penh never ceases to amaze and amuse. |

The Royal Palace of Phnom Penh and Cambodian Royal Life by Julio
While Angkor Wat is known the world over, little is known about the Royal Palace of Phnom Penh. Here's the first book that brings into focus the long-overlooked Gem of Cambodia. After two years of painstaking research, Julio A. Jeldres finally pieced together fragments of information surrounding King Sihanouk's ancestral home. Weaving them into a fascinating book, the author highlights the striking features of Khmer architecture, the underpinning religious beliefs and the prevailing Western influence that blend into the royal residence. Most interestingly, he sheds light on the little-known Cambodian Court life... the Coronation ceremony... the Royal Cambodian Ballet... and the royal effort to preserve their ancient arts and traditions. |

History of Thailand and Cambodia by M.L. Manich Jumsai
Thailand's relationship with Cambodia through history. From the preface. There were also justifications on the part of the Thais when they did not want to live as slaves under the Khmers in the 13th. century and had to fight for their freedom. This developed into continual wars between the two neighbouring countries which then tried to gain supremacy over each other, just as France fought against England in former days. |
