As the title suggest, I have to write a research paper on Pol Pot. Fortunately, I have until the 17th of November to finish it, although I would rather finish it in September [since it really isn't that hard], and from there read it, re-read it, and consequently, improve upon it. According to the attachment I got from my Political Science professor I have to have a multitude of magazine and journal articles to accompany the paper [which is to be written in MLA format; so I have to annotate the journals right on the page].
Without further 'beating around the bush', as people say, I would like to know if anybody owns, or knows of on the internet, articles which relate to, directly, perhaps even indirectly, to the incidents in Cambodia under the dictatorship of Pol Pot, and the administration of the Khmer Rouge.
So far, I have the following, of which I took from Wikipedia. Of course, there was a 0% depth in the research so far, however, don't assume that I'm lazy. It just so happens that I've decided to come to my NationStates brethren before I actually start researching in depth. Moreover, my professor still hasn't approved the topic, although the only reason he wouldn't is because another student has already chosen the topic - which I seriously doubt, especially on our fourth day of meeting. So, here are the ones I found:
Pol Pot remembered (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/from_our_own_correspondent/81048.stm)
Cambodia's Pol Pot confirmed dead (http://www.cnn.com/WORLD/asiapcf/9804/16/pol.pot.on.update/)
Privatizing a Mass Grave in Cambodia (http://montages.blogspot.com/2005/04/privatizing-mass-grave-in-cambodia.html)
The reason I posted these up here, is to make sure people don't double post the links.
One final request, I own one book in my private history library - one book out of around two thousand two hundred, on Pol Pot [most of my books concern the Second World War...and no I'm not going to major in history!]. I forgot what it's called, but it's pretty good. However, for a research paper, unfortunately one book doesn't cut it - all you college students can back me up here. As a result, does anybody know of any good books on the Khmer Rouge, or Pol Pot, which can be found in the libraries and such, since I'm also not willing to spend hundreds of dollars pursaching books for this research paper.
Well, anyways, thank you for your time! I really appreciate any help and aid you can lend me in regards with what I asked.
