Pro-Pol Pot books, as in books supporting Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge?

IMHO, you're not likely to find such books in English; rather, I'd suggest reading Philip Short's Pol Pot: Anatomy of a Nightmare which does a good job of explaining just what happened with Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge while linking it with an analysis of contemporary Cambodian politics.

Try anything on Cambodia by Alain Badiou or Samir Amin circa 1968-1979. :lol:
