For 25 years, Cambodia's Khmer Rouge have avoided responsibility
for their crimes against humanity. For 30 long years, from the late
1960s to the late 1990s, the Cambodian people suffered from a war
that has no name. Etcheson argues that this series of hostilities,
which included both civil and external war, amounted to one long
conflict, The Thirty Years War, and he demonstrates that there was
one "constant, churning presence" that drove that conflict: the
Khmer Rouge. New findings demonstrate that the death toll was
approximately 2.2 million--about a half million higher than
commonly believed. Detailing the struggle to come to terms with
what happened in Cambodia, Etcheson concludes that real justice is
not merely elusive, but in fact may be impossible, for crimes on
the scale of genocide. This book details the work of a unique
partnership, Yale University's Cambodian Genocide Program, which
laid the evidentiary basis for the forthcoming Khmer Rouge tribunal
and also played a key role in the international advocacy necessary
for the tribunal's creation. It presents the information collected
through the Mass Grave Mapping Project of the Documentation Center
of Cambodia and reveals that the pattern of killing was relatively
uniform throughout the country. Despite regular denial of knowledge
of the mass killing among the surviving leadership of the Khmer
Rouge, Etcheson demonstrates that they were not only aware of it,
but that they personally managed and directed the killing.
