Publisher's Synopsis
Giving the Cambodian people a chance for peace after decades of civil war and genocide was one of the diplomatic feats of the century. Australia played a critical role in the peace making process and Australian diplomat Ken Berry was of the team of officials who drew up and negotiated the blueprint for the 1991 Paris Peace Accords, Cambodia - From Red to Blue is thus a unique, insider's view of the complicated and often frustrating negotiations which led, not only to the Paris Accords, but also to what, at the time, was the United Nations' most ambitious peacekeeping operation.
This is also the story of what can be achieved by skilful middle-power diplomacy when the international community puts past enmities aside and opts to cooperate for peace.
