It is a story of nationalistic independence movements, political intrigue, coup attempts, war, and American intelligence. The rise of Cambodian nationalism, the brief period of Japanese dominance, the fight for independence from France, and the establishment of ties with the United States that kept Sihanouk on edge until his downfall--in all of these, as Matthew Jagel shows, Th瀟h was fundamental.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eKhmer Nationalist\u003c\/i\u003e reveals how Cambodian nationalism grew during the twilight of French colonialism and faced new geopolitical challenges during the Cold War.
