Description
Book SynopsisIn Sideshow, journalist Shawcross presents the first full-scale investigation of the secret and illegal war the United States fought with Cambodia from 1969 to 1973, paving the way for the Khmer Rouge massacres of the mid-70s.
Trade ReviewSideshow is both masterly and horrifying.... It presents hard and irrefutable evidence.... should be compulsory reading! * The New York Review Of Books *
Remarkable and compelling…. First and foremost an American political thriller.... where American officials spied on each other, lied to each other and falsified reports.... ALL TOO REAL. * The Boston Globe *
Sideshow excels.... It has the sweep and shadows of a spy novel as it portrays the surreal world of power, severed from morality. * The New York Times *
Shawcross's 1979 volume was powerful when first published and even more so today: Henry Kissinger in his last book spent nearly 100 pages attacking it. This revised edition includes another onslaught, by Kissinger aide Peter Rodman and Shawcross's rebuttal. Essential title. * Library Journal *
