"The text sparkles with shrewdly plausible inferences mortared into a compelling narrative . . . Short] is excellent at coining pithy summations of political motives that ring humanly true."--The New York Times Book Review (front page)

Observing Pol Pot at close quarters during the one and only official visit he ever made abroad, to China in 1975, Philip Short was struck by the Cambodian leader's charm and charisma. Yet Pol Pot's utopian experiments in social engineering would result in the death of one in every five Cambodians--more than a million people.

How did an idealistic dream of justice and prosperity mutate into one of humanity's worst nightmares? To answer these questions, Short traveled through Cambodia, interviewing former Khmer Rouge leaders and sifting through previously closed archives around the world. Key figures, including Khieu Samphan and Ieng Sary, Pol's brother-in-law and foreign minister, speak here for the first time.

Short's masterly narrative serves as the definitive portrait of the man who headed one of the most enigmatic and terrifying regimes of modern times.

"Short chronicles the stages of the Cambodian revolution with admirable clarity . . . A few chilling details, expertly deployed, do the necessary work." --The New York Times

"A spectacularly efficient job of describing what happened and why . . . A chillingly clear portrait." --The Economist

Worth a try
Fast Delivery as described. I'm on my 3rd round of antibiotics for a skin rash due to a allergy to a medication. The soap and a microbial spray is helping with the itching and we expect it to continue. The redness is turning pink and is getting better. I like that it has natural ingredients. I think it works with in con. It's worth a try.

Very good product and I will buy it again.
I love this soap. I have contact dermatitis and have skin issues, I get little blisters that itch like crazy and if scratched turn into little sores. This soap is helping to clear up these sores and I do not itch at all. The lather is great and my skin does not feel dried out at all.

Gentle and effective
After using for 24 hours, my hands are no longer dry and chapped from the eczema. The soap has a pleasant smell and leaves my hands very soft. It also leaves a pleasant smell in the room it's in.
