Abstract

In February 1982 I visited Kampuchea for three weeks on the invitation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Like all visitors to Kampuchea whom I have met, I was shattered by the evidence of genocide and of destruction of the economy by the Pol Pot regime between April 1975 and December 1978. But I was equally impressed by the rapidity of the country's recovery under the present government. There appeared to be a sense of hope and purpose among the fifty Kampucheans with whom I had conversations, even though every one of them had lost between fifteen and fifty relatives in the Pol Pot terror.
