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.
