Book made in North Korea by Foreign Languages Publishing House, 1980, in the English language. From the book:”The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea seen by Norodom Sihanouk authored by the Prince himself was published in France last March. The Foreign Languages Publishing House is putting out the English translation now”.
Norodom Sihanouk (1922-2012) was a member of the Cambodian royal house who led the country as King and Prime Minister. In Cambodia, he is known as Samdech Euv.
Officially neutral in foreign relations, Sihanouk was closer to the communist bloc in practice. The 1970 Cambodian coup d’état ousted him, and he fled to China and North Korea, forming a government-in-exile and a resistance movement there. He encouraged Cambodians to fight the new government and backed the Khmer Rouge during the Cambodian Civil War. He returned as figurehead head of state after the Khmer Rouge’s victory in 1975. His relations with the new government soured, and in 1976 he resigned. He was placed under house arrest until Vietnamese forces overthrew the Khmer Rouge in 1979.
