Democratic Kampuchea and Human Rights: Correcting the Record by David Boggett examines the manufactured narratives of human rights violations used by Western powers to delegitimize the socialist revolution in Kampuchea. The document meticulously deconstructs the exaggerated and unreliable refugee accounts, showing how allegations of mass executions and starvation were largely fabricated through fifth-hand reports, Cold War disinformation, and sources with vested interests in restoring capitalist rule. The text highlights the economic devastation inherited from the Lon Nol regime and U.S. imperialist intervention, which created the conditions of famine and medical collapse—not the policies of Democratic Kampuchea.
