Thank you Pete!
Literary Masterpiece If this book were a work of fiction, it Other top favorites: Project Omega (Acre), Forgotten
A book with unique personal impact and historical importance In "Lost Crusade" Peter Scottdescribes his experiences working with native Cambodian soldiers (the KhmerKrom) during the Vietnam War, and the book centers on the relationships heand other advisors built with these soldiers over the course of the War. Atthe same time Scott offers a broader, historical context of the conflictand the place of the Cambodians within it. This is what makes the book sucha strong effort on two levels: it functions as both a historical documentof the War from the perspective of one who was involved in it on theground, and it is a moving recounting of the relationships between men whofought together as told by a skilled writer. Scott introduces the largecast of characters with the same easy clarity that characterizes the bookas a whole, and in a very personal way the reader soon begins to feel someof the attachment for his soldiers that Scott himself must have felt. Wealso encounter, quite vividly, the brutality of the War itself as well asthe barbaric history of the region that pre-dated U.S. involvement. Thisallows the reader to understand some of the ferocity and drive thatmotivated these soldiers, and difficult as the material is to read attimes, these passages could be seen as some of the most vital and necessaryin the book. The true measure of the book's success, and what makes thebook accessible to all readers, is how deeply attached Scott causes thereader to become to his characters. This is largely due to the incrediblyeffective way in which it was written. The style appears to be effortless,and it is not until one actually stops to consciously consider it that thegreat care and craft invested in the book's writing becomes evident. Such astyle quickly allows the reader to become involved in the personalrelationships Scott establishes with the soldiers, and amplifies thetragedy that consumes many of them by the book's end. "LostCrusade" is both tremendously moving and also historically important,and it manages to effectively accomplish both its goals. Peter Scott hassucceeded in writing a book 'about' war that, like all great books of itstype, is really about the relationships that result from people beingplaced in situations such as war. While historically informative, mostpeople will value the experience of reading the book for what it shows ofhuman nature and human frailty. The book is certain to grip its readers andconsume them from its fiery start in Southeast Asia to its bittersweetconclusion on America's West Coast.
Valuable view from an advisor who was there. |

Editorial Review Product Description When two elderly doctors join Voluntary Service Overseas, they find themselves in unusual circumstances when they arrive in Cambodia. Together these women face not only humid weather, cockroaches, and cultural obstacles, but also something far more challenging: the harsh realities of a country still reeling from the prolonged terrors of Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge. With a generosity of spirit and an unquenchable sense of humor they plunge into the maelstrom of lawlessness where life is cheap, and guns and greed prevail. This third edition contains a postscript considering events since 2003, bringing the reader up to date with the situation in Cambodia as it is today. |

"A trusty comrade is always of use; and a chronicler still more so."
Deference and fatalism The whole book sketches a good impression of the general Cambodian mentality: deference and fatalism rather than rebelliousness. What changed the whole picture and became a tragedy for the country was the fact that it became a football in the deadly Cold War game between, on the one side, China and the US(!) who supported the Red Khmer and, on the other side, the USSR who supported Vietnam. The Pol Pot regime was an exceptional phenomenon imported from the West, because all the men in charge of Angkar were recruited and 'educated' in France by the Stalinist PC. Some essays contain more general comments on the Pol Pot regime and the more actual Cambodian situation, but readers interested in those problems should read prof. Chandler's main works 'The Tragedy of Cambodian History', 'Brother Number One' and 'Voices from S-21'. This book is more for the specialists. ... Read more |
