Overview
This is the untold story of what went on behind the scenes when the UN tried to manage free elections in Cambodia in the early 90s. Told with insight, humor, and a dash of romance, Cambodia and the Year of UNTAC staggers from adventure to adventure as the UN seeks to bring hope to a country reeling from war. With deep feelings for the Cambodian people, this true-life tale - now in a new edition with additional photos and a special afterword - brings to life what it was like to be part of the team that ended Cambodia's civil war and helped bring stability to that beautiful country.
Tom Riddle
Tom Riddle worked in the refugee camps of Southeast Asia in the early 1980s. In 1992 he went to Cambodia to help with the UN-led election. Since then he has worked mainly in Southeast Asia as a freelance videographer.
Reviews
Riddle accomplishes what no other author writing about that war torn nation has done: brought humor to an otherwise deeply depressing subject. -- Thomas M. Grace (Kent State: Death and Dissent in the Long Sixties)
