In the three years, eight months, and twenty days of their government, they made a tabula rasa of Cambodian society and culture, forcing the people to evacuate the cities and move to the country-side. They instituted a total collectivism based on the doctrine of Pol Pot-ism, the Cambodian version of fundamentalist Maoism. Assembled in this collection are the sayings that made up a newspeak uttered by the mouths of the Khmer Rouge cadres: slogans, maxims, advice, instructions, watchwords, orders, warnings, and threats. All were spoken in the name of the ominous Angkar-that faceless and lawless Organization in order to indoctrinate, control, and terrorize the populace. These sayings have been collected from the memories of survivors throughout Cambodia between 1991 and 1995. They form the macabre, bare-bones skeleton on which hung the Khmer Rouge ideology that was thrust upon the Cambodian People. This handbook of slogans, interspread with historical commentary and contextual analysis, describes the Khmer Rouge regime and exposes the horrific foundation upon which it constructed its reign of terror.] Law An Introduction to The Khmer Rouge Trials Phnom Penh : Secretariat of the Royal Government Task Force, Office of the Council of Ministers, c2004 21 p. : ill. ; 18 cm. $ 8.00 Project De Nouveau Code Penal Commente Et Compare : Contribution A L Etude Du Droit Penal Khmer / Michael Bonnieu Phnom Penh : Funan, c2005 v. ; 25 cm. and Index In Khmer and French $ 65.00 Literature Tum Teav : A Translation and Analysis of a Cambodian Literary Classic / George Chigas Phnom Penh : Doumentation Center of Cambodia, c2005 252 p. : ill. ; 25 cm.
