Twin Palms Publishers is pleased to offer a reprint of Bill Burke's seminal book originally published by Nexus Press in 1987.
In the early 1980's Burke traveled to Thailand and Viet Nam, as well as Cambodia where he documented the aftermath of the Khmer Rouge regime. The book will be produced using the original plates, and will feature the same layout and scale as the first edition.
“In 1982, years after Viet Nam, I decided to give myself my own Southeast Asia experience. I wanted to make pictures in a place where I didn’t know the rules, where I’d be off balance. Friends who had been there recommended Thailand; nice people, easy transportation, good food. Another friend told me that as long as I was going to Thailand I should go see the refugees coming out of Cambodia. He set me up with the International Rescue Committee, which was working at the Thai-Cambodian border.” — Bill Burke
