A biography of Pol Pot that is also a history of Cambodia and especially the story of the rise of the Khmers Rouges, some of whose number continue to hold high positions in the government of present day Cambodia. Seeks to explain how a country could fall so entirely under the sway of a political ideology that the very concept of individuality was deliberately demolished, and in the process a fifth of the population died. Photographs; brief biographies of some principal persons; notes and sources; index.
