- Description
- Episode Description
- Chhit Do was formerly a member of the Khmer Rouge during the Cambodian civil war, but fled the country in 1979. In this interview he discusses the impact of exiled Prince Norodom Sihanouk's return to the country to join forces with the Communist revolutionaries. He also details the entry of the North Vietnamese (called the Yuon by Khmers) into the conflict, and the schism between that group and the Khmer Rouge that eventually led to war. He describes the hardships faced by the Khmer people at this time, and the propaganda value of American bombs to the Khmer Rouge recruiting efforts.
