People I know are safe there. Most of the gun fighting took place near government buildings.

I hope things are okay with yours, over there. Pretty mad stuff, that's been going on.

Thanks. The links are working now, too.

Looks like all links are working, the last one with Picq 5 years was unavailable as you said, I can always upload one more time in case if you or another person wants them.

That’s the one with the same picture, I decided to break this a quite large volume into three parts. The main part into two and the third index and notes. So here’s the first half.

I'd be interested in getting a copy of Brother Enemy, please. That's Chanda's book. The other two, Picq and Basu's books you scanned are temporarily unavailable from the Mega Upload site. If they become permanently unavailable, then can you re-upload them please? Foreign Policy of Kampuchea is good for reference, if you need to look something up in a general sense.

Two more books, my wife helped me to scan Beyond the horizon, hopefully she can scan The Little Red Book of Pol Pot and The Brother Enemy, which I plan to scan next, I think you don’t have those too, Pineapple. They are rather large books, I got recently but haven’t had a chance to read them yet, partly because I want to finish library items first and also because I want to scan them before I leave any marks or notes on them.

Beyond the horizon. 5 years with Khmer Rouge.

Did you find the Foreign Policy of Kampuchea any of interest? I read it all elsewhere, it’s interesting a bit as it features a lot of references to the old newspaper and magazine articles. It mentions that Sam Sary died in South Vietnam contrary to Thailand, where I thought he was killed. What a might be bomb for his son! Daddy working together with Vietnamese intelligence against Prince Sihanouk! I should definitely release this information on my Khmer socialist blog.

Tong, your post was automatically removed, for if there are two or more links included in a comment, it is marked as spam. I manually deleted it by mistake when getting rid of comments linking to porn sites and other things. I read it though, and thanks for the compliments. I’ll have to get around to reading Platonov myself.

Ha ha. The thing about higher education these days, is that for the ‘economic middle class,’ as opposed to, let’s say, the upper middle class, it’s become increasingly utilitarian. The elite will of course still receive a good all round education at the best separate schools and best universities, like they’ve always done, but expansion of higher education has been done in a manner which has created only degree factories, churning out ‘middle class’ morons with little or no intellectual curiosity. I’ve never put one foot inside a lecture hall, and I’m still far better read than her in the above photo. Says it all really.
