Fank

- A History of the Cambodian Armed Forces 1970-1975

Bag om Fank

The first comprehensive history of Forces Armées Nationales Khmères - the Cambodian National Armed Forces - this fully-illustrated volume highlights the quarter of a million members of the Cambodian army, air force, and navy that saw daily combat during the five tumultuous years of the Khmer Republic. Although the war in Cambodia has been dubbed a "sideshow" to the larger, more widely reported conflict in neighboring Vietnam, the battles in Cambodia-a country smaller than the state of Oklahoma-were pivotal to U.S. foreign policy and played a critical factor in the final years of the Vietnam War. Ken Conboy heads Risk Management Advisory, a security consultancy in Jakarta. A graduate of Georgetown University and the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, Conboy studied at Sophia University in Tokyo and was a visiting fellow at Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok. A resident of Indonesia since 1992, he is author of more than two dozen books on intelligence and military history.
