| Abstract
|
:
|
"Cambodia examines the country's present troubled situation in the light of its political and cultural history. It looks at many aspects of modern Cambodia, including the psychological effect of the outrages of Pol Pot, and how Angkor Wat has become an icon and symbol for its tourist and heritage industry. In the process, Michael Freeman relates personal stories and anecdotes from both Cambodia's recent and ancient history, such as royal white elephants and buffalo sacrifices in villages; how spiders are cooked and eaten; and the incidence of cannibalism in Cambodian warfare."--Jacket.
