Direct Quotation: Declaring that the nation would start again at "Year Zero", Pol
Pot isolated his people from the rest of the world and set about emptying the
cities, abolishing money, private property and religion, and setting up rural
collectives. Anyone thought to be an intellectual of any sort was killed. Often
people were condemned for wearing glasses or knowing a foreign language.
Summary: Pol Pot, leader of the Khmer Rouge, took over Cambodia, and killed millions
in an attempt to make an agrarian utopia. The Khmer Rouge was overthrown in 1979,
Pol Pot was denounced by his comrades and he died less than a year into his prison
sentence.
