Dear compatriots, The book by Prof. Kenton Clymer "Troubled Relations - The United States and Cambodia Since 1870", Norther Illinois University Press, ISBN-13: 978-0-89580-615-0, makes very interesting reading. It is based on declassified confidential documents of the US State Dept. It strongly implicates the role of the US anticommunist hawks at the State Dept in Cambodia's troubles since post-WWII through to the tragedy of the Khmer Rouge. King then Prince Sihanouk was caught between the US naive anticommunist policies and its allies (Cambodia's immediate neighbours) who had their own agenda for Cambodia that we, Khmers, all know. Had the US evaluated carefully the Prince last desperate call in 1973 to meet Dr. Henri Kissinger and to negotiator with the US, the Khmer Rouge tragedy could have been avoided, but the hardliners in Washington (with their blinkered logic upon military solution) had their way.
