  • Books on Cambodia, Historical Fiction about Cambodia: Andy Brouwer’s highlights and recommendations [Aug. 2008, Jul. 2009]
  • Communications maritimes et fluviales du Cambodge by Serge de Labrusse: I stumbled upon this French e-book while I was researching the Port Authority in Phnom Penh and found it so quaint. It was written in 1959 in the politique étrangère section of this site. I’m noting it here to read later. If you beat me to it, send me a message to tell me what you think!
