Cambodia in the Southeast Asian War, by Malcolm Caldwell and Lek Tan, examines Cambodia’s resistance against imperialist aggression, from French colonialism to American intervention. It details the 1884–1886 national uprising, where 10,000 Cambodians fought against French rule, and the U.S. bombing campaigns of 1969–1972, which displaced over two million people—nearly one-third of the population. The text exposes how Lon Nol’s U.S.-backed regime facilitated mass destruction, with rural society dismantled by aerial bombardments and artillery strikes. With a preface by Noam Chomsky, this work critically analyzes Cambodia’s fight against foreign domination and the revolutionary struggle for national sovereignty.
