Items related to Sympathy For the Devil
Among his peers, Nate Thayer is known as "a man with a mission, a mobile, and an AK-47." In The Insanity of Evil, he recounts his search for Pol Pot, a man synonymous with the 1970s Cambodian reign of terror, and explores what he learned from him in "the last great interview in Asia." Thayer's pursuit of Pol Pot took him through one of the most impenetrable, malarial, landmine-strewn jungles of the world: Khmer Rouge-controlled northern Cambodia -- where he narrowly survived repeated death threats, assassination attempts, and detention by Khmer Rouge, Thai intelligence, and Cambodian troops. Through his clandestine network of contacts, it climaxed in his presence (the only Westerner) at the ex-dictator's 1997 people's tribunal. And in an hour spent exploring Pol Pot's mind -- paranoid, precise, and unrepentant.
