Cambodia: General Works

The most recent general history is David Chandler, A History of Cambodia (Boulder, Colo., 1983; 2nd ed., updated 1996). On earlier times, see Claude Jacques’s masterly Angkor (Paris, 1989). For the period from 1945 to 1979, the most detailed study is David Chandler, The Tragedy of Cambodian History: Politics, War, and Revolution Since 1945 (New Haven, Conn., 1991). Russell R. Ross, Cambodia: A Country Study (Washington, D.C., 1990), is helpful, and so is Jean Delvert’s magisterial Le paysan cambodgien (Paris, 1962). See also Remy Prud‘homme, L’economie du Cambodge (Paris, 1969), and Marie-A. Martin, Le mal cambodgien (Paris, 1989). For the history of Cambodian radicalism, Ben Kiernan’s pathbreaking How Pol Pot Came to Power (London, 1985; hereafter HPP) is indispensable. Books dealing primarily with Democratic Kampuchea (DK) are listed under the relevant chapter headings below.

Chapters 2—4 (1928—1963)

On Cambodian nationalism, see V. Reddi, A History of the Cambodian Independence Movement (Tirupati, 1971); Chandler, Tragedy; and Kiernan, HPP. The 1940s and 1950s are covered nicely in Philippe Preschez, Essai sur la démocratic au Cambodge (Paris, 1961). For a royal perspective, see Norodom Sihanouk and Jean Lacouture, Indochine vue de Pekin (Paris, 1971); and Sihanouk’s often self-serving memoirs, Souvenirs doux et amers (Paris, 1981).
