Author Description

By focusing on the realities constructed by the significant players within relevant decision-making elites, Brady (decision-making theory and systems, City U. Business School, London) contributes to analyses of the foreign policy of the US towards Cambodia from the Vietnamese invasion of Cambodia during the Carter administration, to their occupation in the Reagan administrations, and withdrawal during Bush's tenure. The epilogue updates the regional situation from 1993-97. Includes a chronology from 1863 to March 1992, when the head of the UN Transitional Authority in Cambodia arrived in Phnom Penh.
