The Chronicle of a People's War: The Military and Strategic History of the Cambodian Civil War, 1979–1991

This book describes the strategic and military history of the Cambodian Civil War from when it deposed the genocidal Khmer Rouge regime in 1979 until the political settlement in 1991. The People's Republic of Kampuchea (PRK) survived in the face of a fierce insurgency due to three factors: an appealing and reasonably well implemented political program, extensive political indoctrination, and the use of a hybrid army.The narrative and critical analysis is driven by extensive interviews and primary source archives which have never been accessed before by any scholar, including interviews with former veterans, battlefield footage, and publications of the Cambodian Institute of Military History._x005F_x000D_
