这本引人入胜的书讲述了在红色高棉垮台后的动荡时期，一位来自印度尼西亚的联合国职业官员被卷入围绕柬埔寨的国际和国内政治动荡中的非凡故事。本尼-维迪奥诺根据自己先是作为联合国过渡当局成员，后又作为联合国秘书长的个人特使的经历，再现了以诺罗敦-西哈努克国王、红色高棉和洪森首相为中心的激烈的权力争夺战。 他既是局内人又是局外人，还解开了主要国际参与者，特别是美国、中国和越南的竞争和冲突的议程。他认为，在整个冷战和后冷战时代，大国地缘政治在柬埔寨引发并维持了几十年的巨大悲剧，最终导致了一个有缺陷的和平进程。

维迪奥诺讲述了联合国在柬埔寨的大规模行动的内部故事，这是联合国在当时历史上规模最大、最具挑战性的一次行动，长期以来被认为是联合国在其他地方行动的典范。他不仅利用了自己作为联合国官僚机构一部分的有利条件，而且还利用了自己作为柬埔寨暹粒省（吴哥窟所在地）农村地区的联合国官员的有利条件。作为一个没有地缘政治问题的东南亚同胞，维迪奥诺能够赢得柬埔寨人的尊重，包括曾经和未来的国王诺罗敦-西哈努克，他作为国家领导人在50年后的衰落被生动地描绘出来。本书对国际行动进行了人性化的描述，对于任何对东南亚、国际维和的作用以及对种族灭绝的国际反应感兴趣的人来说，这本书都是非常有价值的读物。

This fascinating book recounts the remarkable tale of a career UN official from Indonesia caught in the turmoil of international and domestic politics swirling around Cambodia during the tumultuous period after the fall of the Khmer Rouge. Writing from his experience first as a member of the UN transitional authority and then as a personal envoy to the UN secretary-general, Benny Widyono re-creates the fierce battles for power centering on King Norodom Sihanouk, the Khmer Rouge, and Prime Minister Hun Sen. A simultaneous insider and outsider, he also untangles the competing and conflicting agendas of the key international players, especially the United States, China, and Vietnam. He argues that great-power geopolitics throughout the Cold War and post–Cold War eras triggered and sustained a tragedy of enormous proportions in Cambodia for decades, ultimately leading to a flawed peace process.

Widyono tells the inside story of the massive UN operation in Cambodia, the largest and most challenging in the organization's history to that time and long considered a model for UN operations elsewhere. He draws not only on his vantage point as part of the UN bureaucracy, but also as a local UN official in the rural Cambodian province of Siem Reap, the site of Angkor Wat. As a fellow Southeast Asian with no geopolitical axe to grind, Widyono was able to win the respect of Cambodians, including the once and future king, Norodom Sihanouk, whose decline after fifty years as his country's leading figure is vividly portrayed. Putting a human face on international operations, this book will be invaluable reading for anyone interested in Southeast Asia, the role of international peacekeeping, and the international response to genocide.
