- Lt. Gen. Sak Sutsakhan, the leader of the last Cambodian government before the advent of the Khmer
Rouge, argues that the victory of the communists was not a foregone conclusion, and that modest American
aid, in the form of 20 aircraft and a few dozen obsolescent tanks waiting for delivery in Thailand, could
have materially changed the military outcome. See Sutsakhan's The Khmer Republic at War and the Final
Collapse (Washington, DC), pp. 163, 166. 1 - Shawcross, Sideshow, p. 360.
