How did Cambodia become the ‘key’ to Nixon’s plan to end the Vietnam War?
What was the secret bombing of Cambodia?
How many bombs did the US drop on Cambodia?
What factors led to the end of Sihanouk’s leadership of the country?
Time Period Covered 1968 - 1969
In this episode Lachlan looks at the gradually degrading situation in Cambodia, and the destabilization prior to a change in the Whitehouse that will only make matters worse. We look at Sihanouk’s movies, the Cambodian economy, and the Khmer Rouge as they continue their ‘armed struggle’ across the country. Nixon’s ascension to power in the USA is explored, his plans for a quick end to the Vietnam War, and the role that Cambodia could play in producing this. Bombing, done in secret, is explained, as well as some comments on the general discourse around the idea of ‘bombs over Cambodia’.
