About this audiobook
He sure had a funny name. And what’s so strange, is that during most of the biggest events in Cambodia, he wasn’t really there. It seems like he was some big orchestrator hiding behind the curtains and silently directing officers to make it all happen. The Cambodia genocide that killed an estimated 2 million of their own citizens has been partially attributed to this maniac.
Pol Pot was a Cambodian political leader and revolutionary who worked as Prime Minister of Democratic Kampuchea from 1975 till 1979. He was a key member of Cambodia's communist company, the Khmer Rouge, from 1963 to 1997, and acted as the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Kampuchea from 1963 to 1981. He was a Marxist-- Leninist and a Khmer nationalist. Cambodia was changed into a one-party communist state under his management, and the Cambodian genocide happened.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I wanted to say something about this specific book, so I am putting in the time to write a consumer review. I encourage you (or everybody who checks this out) to get this book. I really loved it. The pronunciation of the words in this audio book was terrific, along with all the information contained in it. Based upon that, I am really happy that I bought the book. It was well worth my time.
