It’s a time when all acceptable norms of humanity seem to be turned upside down. Even the last of Indochina’s civil wars, grinding on out in the countryside, presents as a mere sideshow diversion to the main events being played out in the free-for-all capital that is Phnom Penh.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCONTENTS Also by Jim Taylor:\t3 Preface\t11 Part One\t\t13 Chapter One – Seventeenth April\t14 Chapter Two – The Minefield Bar\t19 Chapter Three – Train to Sihanoukville \t26 Chapter Four – Toul Kork\t30 Part Two\t39 Chapter  Five – Martinis\t40 Chapter  Six – Lead us not into temptation\t58 Chapter  Seven – Rockets for Sale\t64 Chapter  Eight – The Capitol\t70 Part Three\t81 Chapter Nine – Total eclipse of the sun\t82 Chapter Ten – Golup Ti Muoy\t86 Chapter  Eleven – Dr. Scotty\t99 Part Four\t109 Chapter Twelve – The Rooftops\t110 Chapter  Thirteen – The Banana school\t128 Chapter  Fourteen – Chasing the dragon\t146 Chapter  Fifteen – The Golden cow\t159 Chapter  Sixteen – Aesop's Fables\t176 Chapter  Seventeen – Year of the Rat\t193 Part Five\t209 Chapter  Eighteen – Metal rain\t210 Chapter  Nineteen – Three Wise Monkeys\t224 Chapter  Twenty – Millennium madness\t243 Chapter  Twenty-one – Blood for sale\t252 Part Six\t263 Chapter Twenty-two – Brave New World\t264 Conclusions\t274 Glossary\t282 Bibliography\t287","brand":"The Conrad Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48742820053335,"sku":"9781915494344","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/kingdom-of-the-monkey-9781915494344","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
