We see a country emerging from the disaster of the Khmer Rouge era, only to find itself embroiled in a protracted war. This first volume discusses the ups and downs of the resistance, the secretive life of the communist party, the suffering of the people, the emergence of new leaders, like Prince Ranariddh and Hun Sen, and the continuous efforts of Prince Sihanouk to bring peace to his troubled land. The diary moves, week after week, from the Thai-Cambodian border to Hanoi, Beijing, Bangkok, Paris or Washington and of course to Phnom Penh and the Cambodian countryside. Volume 2 describes how first the People s Republic of Kampuchea of Heng Samrin appears and disappears and, then, how Hun Sen abandons communism and the capitalist State of Cambodia emerges. And as a constant feature throughout, there are the people, main actors and front line victims of the drama.
