“Prince Sihanouk is willing to establish diplomatic relations with the US and prepared to forget it supported the Lon Nol Government that had ousted him in a 1970 coup d’état, says Mike Mansfield (file foto), Senate Democratic leader and good friend of Sihanouk. ©@CarlAlbertCtr https://t.co/mANXK56WoY

@RNbkk I love the story from your book “The Fall of Phnom Penh”, where you explain how you hid your films in tooth-paste tubes and other hiding places. Do you have some more tales to tell from the last days at the embassy?

On behalf of France, who had lost contact with her embassy in PhnomPenh two days ago, .@UN-Secretary General Waldheim sent an appeal to Prince Sihanouk, titular head of the Khmer Rouge to ease the plight of the refugees in the embassy. © Sjoberg (25.4.75), @GettyImages https://t.co/y0j35wkLsR
