Slide Show by Dr. Gaffar Peang-Meth

Dear Countrymen,


I invite you to view the slide show, “Cambodia in Pictures,” a compilation of unattributed photos of the “Old Cambodia” of pre-1970 and of “Political Cambodia,” covering the period of the Vietnam War and subsequent years.

The photos speak for themselves. Commentary is embedded into only one photo, slide 36, an aerial photo of Khmer refugees fleeing in Kompong Thom in 1974. The pre-1970 photos should bring great memories to Cambodians of my generation and those older than I. They depict a country that has greatly changed in the intervening years. The photos of “Political Cambodia,” represent a brief history of the country – published photos taken from various sources.

I hope my younger compatriots will appreciate the opportunity to have a window into the country as it was when their parents were young.

Please enjoy the slide show!

Sincerely,

Gaffar Peang-Meth, Ph.D.
