		Sihanouk was described as "feisty" by admirers, "vain" by detractors and "god" by Cambodians being worked to death in the insane agrarian nightmare of the Khmer Rouge - to which the old man would smile and play a little jazz saxophone.
		Sihanouk was on a visit to the Soviet Union (part of his policy of finding a counterweight to the US and China) in 1970 when one of his most trusted aids, Marshal Lon Nol, carried out a coup d'etat.
		Sihanouk put to rest another potential crisis after his half-brother, Prince Sirivudh, was expelled in 1995 for plotting the assassination of Hun Sen. He was pardoned by the King a year ago.

	Norodom Sihanouk
		King Norodom Sihanouk of Cambodia (born October 31, 1922) was born in Phnom Penh as a son of King Norodom Suramarit and Queen Sisowath Kossamak.
		Sihanouk was all of these things--patriot, neutralist, embodiment of the nation's destiny, eccentric, rigid defender of the status quo, and promoter of the worst sort of patron-client politics.
		Sihanouk also believed he had the right to run the state in a manner not very different from that of the ancient Khmer kings--that is, as an extension of his household.

	BBC NEWS \| Asia-Pacific \| Profile: Norodom Sihanouk
		Norodom Sihanouk was born in Phnom Penh on 31 October 1922, as the son of King Norodom Suramarit.
		Cambodia was then under French colonial rule, and when Sihanouk was 18 the French decided to crown him king to succeed his grandfather Monivong, imagining the teenager would be a compliant ruler.
		Sihanouk was allowed back into the country and technically remained head of state, but spent the majority of the Khmer Rouge's four-year rule under house arrest in the royal palace in Phnom Penh.

	Norodom Sihanouk's Memoirs: A Review
		Born on October 31, 1922, Norodom Sihanouk was appointed to the Cambodian throne by the country's French colonial masters at the age of 18.
		Sihanouk notes that during the early Fifties he feared that "the Vietminh were fighting only to replace the French as masters in Cambodia." Having aligned himself with the Communists at the time of the book's publication, he naturally disavows this belief.
		Sihanouk's analyses of the factors that determined the outcome of the civil war seems generally accurate, but there is one notable omission.

	Cambodia's Sihanouk Signals Abdication (washingtonpost.com)
		Though Sihanouk's intentions remained unclear, the declaration read aloud by his son, Prince Norodom Ranariddh, was the strongest indication yet that the mercurial 81-year-old monarch may finally be prepared to exit the political stage he has dominated for more than half a century.
		Sihanouk returned to his country, but his erstwhile allies kept him effectively under house arrest and killed more than a dozen of his relatives during a four-year reign of terror that claimed the lives of more than 1 million Cambodians.
		Sihanouk played a central role in negotiations leading to the withdrawal of the Vietnamese and the establishment of a new government under Prime Minister Hun Sen. Sihanouk, a rare source of authority for the riven country, was reinstated as a constitutional monarch in 1993.

		King Sihanouk's announcement, read in the National Assembly on Thursday (Oct. 7), may be a reversible ruse, however, to squeeze concessions from the Cambodia's government, according to some analysts.
		Sihanouk then became a prince, and a politician, and ruled the country with a heavy hand, trying bloody, Machiavellian moves to prop up or crush various factions.
		But Sihanouk flew to New York in 1975 and told the United Nations that the Khmer Rouge evacuation of cities was "without bloodshed" and he convinced Cambodian intellectuals, military officers and other in the United States and elsewhere to return home to support the new regime.

		Sihanouk often lets fly with his own views on Cambodia's social ills -- illegal logging that threatens to turn the country into a "tiny Sahara without oil," the trafficking of Cambodian women for prostitution in other Asian countries where they "suffer, are humiliated," their impoverished parents helpless to intervene.

		At its center is the figure of Norodom Sihanouk.
		Cixous recognized in Sihanouk a historical figure as fascinating as a tragic king in Shakespeare: a man of uncommon intelligence on whom his country's history pivoted, a man placed by fate into a world of bad choices and surrounded by powerful and relentless antagonists.

		Foreign officials in Phnom Penh who brood over Cambodia's problem and vie for Lon Nol's car may be a bit disconcerted to learn that the premier gets some of his most intimate advice from a clique of Buddhist monks who often see him for hours at a stretch.
