Gripping novel about Cambodia and the "Killing fields"

Jack Anderson manages to capture the human tragedy of one of the worst instinces of genocide in the 20th century: the Khmer Rouge brutal attempt to make the perfect Communist state. The story is told through the eyes of a variety of people: a worn-out American diplomat; his Khmer mistress who will have to fight to survive; two Khmer Rouge soliders, who both grapple with madness; a journalist with a death wish; and an idealistic relief worker. The action is great, and the inhumanity of man to man is captured well.
