Excerpt: Saloth Sar (May 19, 1928 April 15, 1998), better known as Pol Pot, (Khmer: ), was the leader of the Cambodian communist movement known as the Khmer Rouge and was Prime Minister of Democratic Kampuchea from 19761979. His time as the leader of Cambodia, in which he attempted to "cleanse" the country, resulted in the death of an estimated 1.7 to 2.5 million people. Pol Pot became leader of Cambodia in mid-1975. During his time in power, Pol Pot imposed a version of agrarian collectivization, forcing city dwellers to relocate to the countryside to work in collective farms and forced labor projects, toward a goal of "restarting civilization" in a "Year Zero". The combined effects of slave labor, malnutrition, poor medical care, and executions resulted in the deaths of approximately 21% of the Cambodian population. On March 30, 2009, Kaing Guek Eav, Khmer Rouge commandant of Cambodia's Tuol Sleng prison and torture house, testified at the UN-backed Tribunal, that US policies in the 1970s contributed to the brutal regime's rise to power. ."I think the Khmer Rouge would alrea...

Excerpt: Am Rong (died April 17 1975) was an information minister on military matters for the Khmer Republic during the Cambodian Civil War . Western journalists commented on the irony of his name as he gave briefings which "painted a rosy picture of the increasingly desperate situation on the ground" during the war. Am Rong was killed by the Khmer Rouge after the fall of Phnom Penh in April, 1975.

Heng, who was of Chinese ancestry, was born in Takeo Province into a middle-peasant family: he went on to become a prosperous businessman and landowner. He served in the civil service of colonial Cambodia , eventually reaching the grade of Oudom-Montrey (senior grade mandarin ) by the mid 1950s. His early political career, during the period when Prince Norodom Sihanouk 's Sangkum party controlled the country, is relatively obscure: he entered politics in 1958, and served as Secretary of State for Agriculture in 1961-2. He was elected as the Sangkum deputy for Takhmau in 1962, but lost in the 1966 elections to a rival candidate, a young Sihanoukist doctor called Keo Sann. Heng subsequently returned via a 1967 by-election in Phnom Penh , and by 1970 was serving as President... (Amazon.com Sponsored Result) |
| 3. | Cambodian Families: Lon Family, Lon Nol, Lon Non, Lon Nil Paperback. Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Not illustrated. Excerpt: Lon Nol (Khmer: ; November 13, 1913 November 17, 1985) was a Cambodian politician and soldier who served as Prime Minister of Cambodia twice, as well as serving repeatedly as Defense Minister. He proclaimed himself, after a coup against Norodom Sihanouk and became President of the Khmer Republic. Nol was born in Prey Veng Province on November 13, 1913, to a family of mixed ChineseKhmer descent. His father, Lon Hin, served as a district chief in Siem Reap and Kampong Thom, after making a name for himself 'pacifying' bandit groups in Prey Veng. Nol was educated in the relatively privileged surroundings of the Lycée Chasseloup-Laubat in Saigon, followed by the Cambodian Royal Military Academy. Nol found employment with the French colonial civil service in 1937. He became a magistrate, and soon proved himself as an efficient enforcer of French rule against a series of anti-colonial disturbances in 1939. By 1946, he had risen to the post of Governor of Kratie Province. He became an associate of King Norodom Sihanouk, and by the late 1940s, when he set up a right-wing, monarchist, pro-independence political group, was becoming increasingly involved in the developing Cambodian political scene. Joining the army in 1952, he carried out military operations against the Viet Minh. After independence, Nol's nationalist 'Khmer Renovation' party (along with small right-wing parties headed by Sam Sary and Dap Chhuon) became the core of the Sangkum, the organisation set up by Sihanouk to fight the 1955 elections. Nol was appointed the Army Chief of Staff in 1955, and commander-in-chief of the armed forces in 1960, as well as serving as Defence Minister. At the time, he was a trusted supporter of Sihanouk, his police being instrumental in the s... More: http://booksllc.net/?id=80049 (Amazon.com Sponsored Result) |

Extrait : Ta Mok, pseudonyme de Chhit Chœun ou de Ek Chœun, (né en 1926, à Trapeang Thom, dans le district de Tram Kak, province de Takeo - décédé à l'hôpital de Phnom Penh le 21 juillet 2006), est un homme politique cambodgien, qui fut l'un des plus sanguinaires leaders des Khmers rouges et l'un des derniers dirigeants du mouvement dirigé d'une main de fer par Pol Pot. Sa personnalité est mal connue et on ne disposa longtemps d'aucune photo de lui. Dans son témoignage Le Portail, François Bizot en fait le portrait d'un homme cruel et cupide. On sait qu'il a perdu une jambe en sautant sur une mine durant la guerre civile, au début des années 1980. Né dans une prospère famille paysanne de la province de Takeo, Chhit Choeun, alias Ta Mok, étudie à l'école supérieure de Pali, à Phnom Penh, avant de devenir bonze. Dans les années 1940, alors que le Cambodge connaît alternativement la domination coloniale française et japonaise, Ta Mok s'engage dans la guérilla des Khmers Issarak contre le colonialisme français et est également actif dans la résistance anti-japonaise. En juin 1949, chef du mouvement Issarak pour les districts de Tram Kak et de Prey Krabas, il est dénoncé pour les exactions commises à l'occasion de collectes de fonds. Il rejoint dans les années 1950 le Parti communiste cambodgien (PCK). Militant militaire et politique dans la zone du sud-ouest, il est nommé membre du Comité central du Parti dès 1963 et devient en 1966 secrétaire adjoint pour la zone Sud-Ouest. En 1968 ou 1970, il devient secrétaire du Parti pour la zone du Sud-ouest, un poste qui lui perm...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr (Amazon.com Sponsored Result) |
