During the following four years, Cambodian society was dramatically transformed at great cost in terms of human misery and death. Despite its outward display of total power, the regime of Democratic Kampuchea was deeply fragmented along factional lines within the Communist Party of Kampuchea which eventually ripped it apart. On the morning of 25th December 1978, a huge military force of the People's Army of Vietnam spearheaded a counter attack by the Kampuchean Front for National Salvation, led by a former KR commander, Heng Samrin. They found a country in ruins, the economy shattered and the people shocked and dispirited.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book examines the Cambodian revolution before and after Pol Pot and attempts to explain the reasons for its ultimate failure. In particular, it traces the efforts of the post-DK regime, that of the People's Republic of Kampuchea, to rebuild both the state and the revolution. Many factors intervened to defeat their efforts to restore revolution. Nevertheless, the PRK did rebuild the state and the economy, and it helped return people's lives to the conditions of pre-revolutionary days.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Margaret Slocomb\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9749575342\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789749575345\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Washington Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 387\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.74w x 0.85d","brand":"Margaret Slocomb","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44079679668479,"sku":"9789749575345","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_40d97ced-a9a0-498c-a790-0c28e1816d06.jpg?v=1685482519","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-peoples-republic-of-kampuchea-margaret-slocomb-9789749575345","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
