Smile Pol Pot

The twelfth of August, 1978, the delegation of the Society of Swedish-Cambodian friendship arrived in Democratic Kampuchea, Pol Pot. After returning home, four Swedes said that the Communist revolution of the Khmer Rouge should serve as an example for other countries. Soon the world community has learned that three and a half years of the reign of Pol Pot, the country has lost a fourth part of the population: almost two million people were executed or died of starvation, backbreaking slave labor and disease.
But how could it be that nobody in the world did not raise a voice against one of the bloodiest regimes of the second half of the twentieth century?
Almost a quarter of a century later, journalist Peter Fröberg the Idling read glowing reports of the Swedish delegation and decided to conduct its own investigation. The result was the book the SMILE of Pol POT, became a sensation in Sweden and already translated into several languages.
