This collection provides a window into the political, social, and economic development of
Cambodia, the rapidly maturing “modern” state in the heart of Southeast Asia. Traced here
is the critical legacy of Prince Norodom Sihanouk (1922-2012), the nation’s controversial and
paradoxical leader. Khmer nationalism, loyalty to themonarch, struggle against injustice and
corruption, and protection of the Buddhist religionwere in the forefront of developments in this
period. The archive is an essential resource for the study of Southeast Asian history and the
U.S. role in the war in Vietnam. The files are arranged according to the classification system
of U.S. State Department Records, and they cover a wide range of internal political affairs.
