Overview

On 17 April 1975, the Khmer Rouge armies defeated the Lon Nol regime and took Cambodian capital Phnom Penh, dispersing its more than two million inhabitants to a life of hard agricultural labour in the countryside. During the next four years, the Khmer Rouge - headed by Pol Pot - terrorised the population. Along with haunting landscapes, the stark, powerful portraits in War Remnants of the Khmer Rouge portray those who suffered greatly under the genocide of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia.

These compelling and very moving photographs by Maureen Lambray are here to remind us of the never-ending suffering of the Cambodian people. The war in Cambodia, for many of the poor, is still not over. Lambray's powerful photos show how great their sacrifice is. --Don McCullin, award-winning photographer The very moving photographs represent an excellent attempt to remind the world of the appalling atrocities that took place in Cambodia and of the need to address the consequences resulting from the atrocities. A great deal of work still remains to be done in Cambodia in addressing impunity and books like this make a contribution to ensure that these issues are not forgotten. --Surya P. Subedi, UN Special Rapporteur for Human Rights in Cambodia Maureen Lambray's photographs are poignant, serious, affecting, passionate without being mawkish, and beautifully composed. --Martin Barnes, Curator of Photographs, Victoria & Albert Museum, London The memory of atrocity does not fade so easily. War Remnants of the Khmer Rouge is a work of history and black and white photography as Maureen Lambray walks readers through the tragic history of what is left behind by the cruel iron fist of Pol Pot, the scarred and tattered legacy of this sinister chapter in Cambodian history, that left almost two million dead. Through it all, the wounds of this terror still shine strong, showing real people coping with the dismemberment and the horrors of war. War Remnants of the Khmer Rouge is a depressing yet necessary look at what remains after brutality. --Midwest Book Review Library Book Watch War Remnants of the Khmer Rouge is a sixteen-year project that produced a collection of photographs by Maureen Lambray that depict a legacy of landmines, lost limbs, mass graves, and widespread economic poverty stemming from the four-year brutal Khmer Rouge regime. The viewer is riveted on the faces of people who have withstood these hardships and their expressions of resilience. One can only hope to talk with each of them to learn about how they survived. --Roberta R.
