Washington DC: Naval Historical Center, Contemporary History Branch, 1991. Revised Edition. Wraps. [6], 100, [2] pages. Cover has some wear. Corners of several pages bent. This bibliography revises and updates A Select Bibliography of the United States Navy and the Southeast Asian Conflict, 1950-1975, compiled by Edward J. Marolda and G. Wesley Price III and issued in November 1983. The greater number of titles cited in this new edition reflects the outpouring of books and articles on the Vietnam War since 1983. In addition, because of the growing attention to the role of women in war, the current edition of the bibliography presents a new subject category entitled Navy Women. A primary object of this current work is to provide a bibliography that would enable researchers to identify the most comprehensive books and articles on the Navy's overall involvement in the struggle for Southeast Asia (hence the General Works section). Another goal was to present researchers only interested in specific subject areas with the fullest information on the sources treating those individual topics. The books, public documents, and articles cited in the bibliography can be found in the holding of the Navy Department Library. More

New York: Hill and Wang, 1986. First Edition [stated], presumed first printing. Hardcover. [8], 245, [3] pages. Maps. Historical Note. In 1975, Molyda Szymusiak (her adoptive name) was twelve years old and leading a relatively peaceful life in Phnom Penh. Suddenly, on April 17, Khmer Rouge radicals seized the capital and drove all its inhabitants into the countryside. The chaos that followed has been widely publicized, most notably in the movie The Killing Fields. Murderous brutality coupled with raging famine caused the death of more than two million people, nearly a third of the population. This powerful memoir documents the horror Cambodians experienced in daily life. Molyda Szymusiak, (born Buth Keo; October 19, 1962) is a Khmer author and photographer born in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Following the Khmer Rouge takeover in April 1975, she and her family were driven out of the capital city into the Cambodian countryside. Nearly all of her immediate family was massacred or starved in the famine that accompanied the ensuing genocide. She and three other members of the family survived, arriving at the Khao-I-Dang refugee camp on the Thai border in 1980. In 1981, she and two of her cousins were adopted in Paris by Jan Szymusiak, a French professor and theologian of Polish extraction, and Carmen Affholder. In 1984, she published a memoir on the Khmer Rouge years, originally written in French (Les Pierres Crieront), then translated into English and published under the title The Stones Cry Out. The book is important as one of the few first hand survival narratives of the obscure Pol Pot years of 1975-1979 in Cambodia. More

The key witnesses were: Lt. Gen. Francis C. Gideon; Rear Adm. Draper L. Kauffman; Col. Ernest W. Pate; Lt. Gen. Robert H. Warren; and James M. Wilson. The hearings of the Subcomittee were designed to detail, on a country-by-country basis, United States programs, personnel and facility in the troubled Far East, excluding Vietnam. Their aim, with the help of Administration witnesses, was to gather for the Senate the best and most complete information available; and to this end Messrs. Pincus and Paul of the Subcommittee staff had already spent seven months gathering inforamtion....Becasue of the national security implications of some of the information to be dwelt on, and in order to permit frank discussion of all pertinent matters, the initial fact finding hearings were to be held in executive session. Let it be noted, however, that as complete a record as security consideration permit will be released to the public as rapidly as possible. More
