A darker read than my normal Sunday, but struck by this: “Pol Pot had a basketful of aliases. He changed his character to suit the times. Prior to his emergence as leader of the Khmer Rouge, intelligence agencies in China and the US had no idea that he was important. “ — J.D. Vance, anyone?
Will add it to my list. For a fictionalized account of this time I suggest John Del Vecchio’s “For the Sake of All Living Things”. One of the most painful books I have read and keep telling myself to read again when more time has elapsed. Maybe hit time to read both.
