A Journey Through Cambodia
New Edition

This is the first travel book for 40 years devoted entirely to Cambodia - a beautiful and enigmatic country. In 1993 Cambodia, best known for its killing fields, saw an end to the regime of the murderous Khmer Rouge. After fourteen years of horrific bloodshed, elections sponsored by the UN took place. The country, which contained as many explosive mines as people, opened its fragile arms to over thirty thousand foreigners. With the arrival of democracy, tourists poured in to enjoy the deep-pan pizzas, beaches, and drugs and for a while, this mysterious and tragic nation was turned into a bit of a party. Meanwhile, Cambodians went about reconstructing their country. When the UN left, the Khmer Rouge still remained. People began to disappear, supposedly kidnapped by the Khmer Rouge, and the party ended in ways no one had ever expected. Carol Livingston tells, with keen political insight and a novelists's instinct for storytelling, the tale of how the party began and sadly ended.
