I don't really see how this would be particularly interesting, seems a bit of a childish premise really.

Hasn't anyone here heard the axiom "'you can't make a revolution unless you skin a couple of babies?"
 From what I've hear the best book on Ol' Potty is 'Pol Pot: Anatomy of a Nightmare' by Philip Short

Why not see what they themselves had to say?
http://geocities.com/groupstpp/study.html I haven't really read any of it, but the idea that they were primitivists and wanted everyone to be farmers seems false.

That's an interesting concept; I never thought of looking at the Khmer Rouge as an existentialist movement.
I also got I Am Pol Pot for my birthday (lol a bit of a theme this year). I will read it soon.

If I handed people my birthday list and it had a bunch of books about Pol Pot on it, they'd probably start to worry.

Pol Pot was definitely not responsible for what's attributed to him by bourgeois scholars. He wasn't even in the position of power to do all the things they say he did, so the whole premise is ludicrous! And it's also totally..........oh wait, I just realized I'm not insane.

I am Steve Otto, the person who wrote I Am Pol Pot. If you have any questions, this would be the time to ask them.
