This review is from: Propaganda, Politics, and Violence in Cambodia: Democratic Transition Under United Nations Peace-Keeping (East Gate Books) (Paperback)

Chandler, Heder, and Ledgerwood are unquestionably among the world's premier experts on Cambodia, and their work is the most unbiased and dependable available. In spite of massive obstacles in all directions, UNTAC's "braintrust" did a remarkable job in attempting to insure that the promises of the 1991 Paris agreements were faithfully fulfilled by all involved. Propaganda, politics, and violence most always win out in the short term, although the future in Cambodia is not yet lost. This history of events during the UN Transitional Authority in Cambodia bears study by all those stubborn enough to remain interested in peacekeeping operations.
