Description:
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.
