Road to the Killing Fields The Cambodian War of 1970-1975

The 1970-75 war in Cambodia directly involved the United States, contributed to the downfall of an American president, led to the "killing fields," and explains much of what has since happened in Cambodia. Yet, because U.S. involvement in that part of Southeast Asia was largely clandestine, the American people know little about it, regarding the fighting in Cambodia as a small sideshow to the Vietnam War. In fact, it was a full-scale war in which a small nation, sucked into the vortex of Cold War geopolitics, was propelled into one of history's bloodiest, most brutal times.Deac, Wilfred P. is the author of 'Road to the Killing Fields The Cambodian War of 1970-1975' with ISBN 9781585440542 and ISBN 158544054X.
