Although there are many books and films dealing with the Vietnam
War, Sideshow tells the truth about America's secret and illegal
war with Cambodia from 1969 to 1973. William Shawcross interviewed
hundreds of people of all nationalities, including cabinet
ministers, military men, and civil servants, and extensively
researched U.S. Government documents. This full-scale
investigation-with material new to this edition-exposes how
Kissinger and Nixon treated Cambodia as a sideshow. Although the
president and his assistant claimed that a secret bombing campaign
in Cambodia was necessary to eliminate North Vietnamese soldiers
who were attacking American troops across the border, Shawcross
maintains that the bombings only spread the conflict, but led to
the rise of the Khmer Rouge and the subsequent massacre of a third
of Cambodia's population.
