Sideshow : Kissinger, Nixon, and the destruction of Cambodia

This book is the story of America's secret war against Cambodia. It is the first full-scale investigation of how power was employed - and abused - in the National Security Council, the Pentagon, and the State Department under the leadership of Richard Nixon and his National Security Assistant, Henry Kissinger. It is a tragic history of the destruction of a neutral country which was always regarded by the White House and the State Department as "something of a sideshow to Vietnam." In this astonishing account of the waging of a secret and illicit war, William Shawcross draws upon his own experience in Southeast Asia, upon interviews with hundred of participants, and upon thousand of pages of classified US Government documents.

  • "The author tells the truth about America's secret and illegal war with Cambodia from 1969 to 1973 through interviews with hundreds of people of all nationalities, including cabinet ministers, military men, and civil servants, and extensively researched U.S. Government documents. This full-scale investigation, with material new to this edition, exposes how Kissinger and Nixon treated Cambodia as a sideshow. Although the president and his assistant claimed that a secret bombing campaign in Cambodia was necessary to eliminate North Vietnamese soldiers who were attacking American troops across the border, the author maintains that the bombings only spread the conflict, but led to the rise of the Khmer Rouge and the subsequent massacre of a third of Cambodia's population."
  • "An investigative account of the secret war in Cambodia during the Vietnam War, and of the use of power by Nixon and Kissinger in Indo-Chinese foreign policy."
