Book Synopsis
Provides a documentary-based Marxist interpretation of the political economy of Democratic Kampuchea. Tyner argues that Cambodia's mass violence was the consequence not of the deranged attitudes and paranoia of a few tyrannical leaders but of the structural violence, the direct result of a series of political and economic reforms that were designed to accumulate capital rapidly.

Trade Review
A must-read for students of Cambodia and of stateled economic development. Tyner argues that KhmerRouge leaders inductively drew lessons from physical conditions and economic practice to shape thecontours of their revolutionary society, culminating in a specialized form of state capitalism. His analysiscomplicates what we know of the nature of Cambodian communism lurking behind the mass killings inDemocratic Kampuchea.' - Andrew Mertha, professor of government, Cornell University
