"Perhaps the most complete [account of Pol Pot's terror] and the closest to Cambodian sources." --Economist
"One of the most important contributions to the subject so far." --R. B. Smith, Asian Affairs
"Kiernan, the leading authority on modern Cambodia, meticulously examines Pol Pot's killing machine and clears up many misconceptions found in earlier studies. . . . An important book for students of genocide as well as scholars of Southeast Asia." --Library Journal
"[A] detailed and chilling history." --Asiaweek
"The most detailed history to date of the genocidal Khmer Rouge regime. . . . This book . . . will certainly be the benchmark against which all future research on the Khmer Rouge must be measured. Very highly recommended." --Choice
