But under this fa e lies a country still haunted by its years of terror.  Although the international community tried to rebuild Cambodia and introduce democracy in the 1990s, in the country remained in the grip of a venal government. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Joel Brinkley learned that almost a half of Cambodians who lived through the Khmer Rouge era suffered from P.T.S.D. -- and had passed their trauma to the next generation. His extensive close-up reporting in \u003ci\u003eCambodia's Curse\u003c\/i\u003e illuminates the country, its people, and the deep historical roots of its modern-day behavior.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joel Brinkley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1610391837\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781610391832\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e PublicAffairs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/04\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.50w x 1.20d","brand":"Joel Brinkley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43996370960639,"sku":"9781610391832","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3494b4d9-c623-483e-8546-eecf082ac3a2.jpg?v=1683341306","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cambodias-curse-joel-brinkley-9781610391832","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
