On April 17, 1975, the Khmer Rouge seized power in Phnom Penh. In the three years, eight months, and twenty days of their government, they made a tabula rasa of Cambodian society and culture, forcing the people to evacuate the cities and move to the countryside. They instituted a total collectivism based on the doctrine of \"Pol Pot-ism,\" the Cambodian version of fundamentalist Maoism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAssembled in this collection are the sayings that make up a \"newspeak\" uttered by the Khmer Rouge cadres: slogans, maxims, advice, instructions, watchwords, orders, warnings, and threats. All were spoken in the name of the ominous Angkar--a faceless and lawless \"Organization\"--n order to indoctrinate, control, and terrorize the populace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese sayings have been collected from survivors throughout Cambodia between 1991 and 1995. They form the macabre, bare-bones skeleton of Khmer Rouge ideology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 350\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.97 x 7.58 x 5.78 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 01, 2005\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44440826085558,"sku":"9789749575567","price":61.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0711\/4516\/0886\/files\/pol-pot-book-standing.png?v=1765350544","url":"https:\/\/sovereignarchivepublishing.com\/products\/pol-pots-little-red-book-the-sayings-of-angkar-paperback","provider":"Sovereign Archive Publishing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
