Translated from the French by Helen R. Lane. 476 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Fred Marcellino. keywords: Europe France Literature Translated Cambodia World Literature. DESCRIPTION - A best seller and critical success in France, The Angkor Massacre is a riveting novel of suspense and adventure on a grand scale. Set against the background of the Cambodian revolution, this is the story of people facing impossible choices in a land torn by one of the bloodiest civil wars in recorded history. The characters are as vivid and complex as Cambodia itself. Among those drawn into the maelstrom of revolution are Khmer Rouge guerrillas, an American cultural attaché, a CIA agent, a Corsican arms trafficker, a French photographer, an English journalist, a sadistic colonel in Lon Nol's army, and Kutchai, a gigantic Jarai (Cambodian tribesman). At the center of the storm is Lara: gaunt, handsome, a man of few words and forceful passions. French by descent, his family has lived in Cambodia for eight generations, and Lara's passion for his country is the driving force in his life. But as the tide of revolution sweeps the country, Lara is forced to choose between his homeland and Lisa, the wife he loves. Lisa knows her husband will never abandon his country, but she cannot believe he will sacrifice the safety of his wife and newborn baby. When the Khmer Rouge invade the capital of Phnom Penh, and all foreigners are evacuated, Lara is still there, the last white man in Cambodia. With Kutchai, his seven-foot henchman, he watches his beloved Cambodia erupt as fanatical guerrillas overrun and take control of the country. As Lara and Kutchai flee for their lives, the only hope left resides with the Jarai tribesmen who have escaped to the forest to wait for the right moment to rise again. A tragic and violent story, The Angkor Massacre gives us an unforgettable portrait of a country few Americans have experienced until now. Written by an award-winning French journalist who lived in Cambodia for seven years and witnessed the events of the 1969 revolution, this taut, suspenseful, and insightful novel illuminates one of the darkest moments of our recent past. inventory #3018 Very Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket With A Few Tears.
