But under this façe lies a country still haunted by its years of terror.  Although the international community tried to rebuild Cambodia and introduce democracy in the 1990s, in the country remained in the grip of a venal government. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Joel Brinkley learned that almost a half of Cambodians who lived through the Khmer Rouge era suffered from P.T.S.D. -- and had passed their trauma to the next generation. His extensive close-up reporting in \u003ci\u003eCambodia's Curse\u003c\/i\u003e illuminates the country, its people, and the deep historical roots of its modern-day behavior.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51367540228319,"sku":"9781610391832","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/m1N1NwMchD9781610391832.webp?v=1789109779"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/joel-brinkley.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
