Beginning with the restoration of diplomatic relations between the
US and Cambodia in 1969, this book is the first to systematically
explore the controversial issues and events surrounding the
relationship between the two countries in the latter half of the
twentieth century. This book traces how the secret bombing of
Cambodia, the coup which overthrew Prince Sihanouk and the American
invasion of Cambodia in 1970 led to a brutal civil war followed by
the savagery of the Khmer Rouge 'killing fields'.
Clymer carefully examines the American role in these tragic events
before analyzing the American response to the Vietnamese invasion
in 1978, which finally drove the Khmer Rouge from power. The book
also highlights how hostility to the government installed by the
Vietnamese led the US to attempt to undermine it by assisting the
Khmer Rouge. It closes with an examination of the key role the US
played in the United Nations assisted settlement of the Cambodian
problem in the early 1990s. The companion volume to this book The
United States and Cambodia, 1870-1969, explores from the first
American relations with Cambodia, through the Cold War era, up
until the late 1960s.
Based on extensive archival research in the United States,
Australia and Cambodia, this is the most comprehensive account of
the United States' troubled relationship with Cambodia and will be
of enormous interest to scholars of Southeast Asia, US diplomatic
history and US foreign policy.
