John Pilger and Anthony Barnett, in a series of vivid and often shocking reports, tell the story of two nations’ struggle to survive the aftermath of the Vietnam war. They un-make the myths constructed by Western propaganda and expose the scandal of the United Nations’ continuing recognition of Pol Pot as Cambodia’s legitimate ruler.
This unique historical record includes the horrific documentation of Tuol Sleng, Pol Pot’s torture prison, analysed by Chanthou Boua and Ben Kieran. In an exclusive interview, Vietnam’s Le Dec Tho assesses the role of Henry Kissinger. And in a review of Kissinger’s memoirs, Bruce Page reveals how Kissinger has distorted history in attempting to justify the US assault on South-East Asia.
