we're still fighting the vietnam war, and this is the last battle of that war, and if we have to use the khmer rouge as a pawn in that, we'll use them

Does anyone actually have links to like comprehensive studies of what really happened within Khmer Rouge?

From what I know it's incredibly dreadful and and important history lesson in many regards, but I just don't see it properly being studied in any space.

Only Stalin was a good communist.
