    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    A gripping and unflinching examination of one of the darkest chapters in modern history and the global forces that allowed it to unfold. 
    Between 1975 and 1979, Cambodia endured unimaginable horror under the Khmer Rouge regime, where nearly two million lives were lost to systematic brutality, starvation, and mass executions. But this is not just the story of a ruthless dictatorship; it is the story of how international powers, driven by Cold War rivalries and geopolitical interests, turned a blind eye and sometimes actively enabled the rise and reign of terror. 
    Drawing on newly uncovered documents, survivor testimonies, and incisive analysis, this book reveals the tangled web of political alliances, foreign interventions, and diplomatic failures that contributed to the genocide. From secret bombings and covert support to the paralysis of the United Nations, it exposes how global dynamics shaped Cambodia’s fate, allowing one of history’s greatest atrocities to remain hidden for decades. 
    The Cambodian Genocide challenges readers to confront uncomfortable truths about international responsibility, the cost of political indifference, and the enduring scars left on a nation. It is a vital, haunting reminder of how the world’s silence can become complicit in the darkest of crimes — and a call never to forget the lessons of history.

    It has been famously pointed out that the Holy Roman Empire was neither holy, nor Roman, but it was also not an empire in the sense people expect when hearing the term. In theory, the emperor was the highest prince in Christendom, and his dominion extended the length and breadth of Western Europe. The empire had been created by the papacy in 801 when Pope Leo III famously crowned the supposedly unwitting Charlemagne in Saint Peter’s Basilica, intending to recreate the Western Roman Empire. In truth, the imperial power did not extend beyond central Europe, which by the beginning of the 16th century included Germany, northern Italy and the Netherlands. Even in these lands, however, the emperor struggled to command obedience. His dominion over northern Italy was theoretical only, the cities of the Netherlands were deeply conscious of their ancient rights and privileges, and Germany had long ceased to be compliant. The latter had become a collection of principalities, dukedoms and bishoprics which vied with each other and pursued their own agendas. They were, however, united in only one sense: denying the emperor power and resisting attempts to centralize the government.  
    	At the same time, major religious changes were happening within Germany in the early 16th century. Born shortly after the invention of the printing press, Martin Luther became one of Europe’s best selling authors, along with others like Erasmus, and his theology was mass produced across Europe. He strongly disputed the claim that freedom from God's punishment of sin could be purchased with money, known as indulgences, and he confronted indulgence salesman Johann Tetzel with his Ninety-Five Theses in 1517, one of the most important religious writings of all time. His refusal to retract all of his writings at the demand of Pope Leo X in 1520 and the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V at the Diet of Worms in 1521 resulted in his excommunication by the Pope and condemnation as an outlaw.
