"Starvation and Revolution," Gareth Porter and George Hildebrand presents a thorough examination of the U.S. intervention in Cambodia and the revolutionary policies of the Khmer Rouge during the final years of the war. It examines the causes of starvation in Phnom Penh under the Lon Nol regime, the evacuation of cities, and the agricultural revolution led by the Khmer Rouge to achieve self-reliance and food security. The study highlights the contrast between U.S. policies that exacerbated suffering and the Khmer Rouge's efforts to rebuild Cambodia's rural economy and feed its people. It serves as a critical resource for understanding the impact of imperialism and the resilience of the Cambodian revolution.
