He is the author of three other books from Cornell University Press—Brothers in Arms, China’s Water Warriors, and The Politics of Piracy. We spoke to Andrew about how the Khmer Rouge remained a force to be reckoned with long after the fall of Pol Pot’s government, how they were able to keep their political power intact, and the three key Khmer Rouge leaders who were instrumental in the movement's strange durability.
