		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.

		PHNOM PENH, Cambodia – Retiring King Norodom Sihanouk's son, a former ballet dancer and U.N. cultural ambassador, was officially confirmed Thursday to succeed his father on the throne, assuring the continuation of the ancient monarchy.
		Sihanouk and Prime Minister Hun Sen had both warned that failure to choose a new king by Thursday could have threatened the continued existence of the monarchy and might destabilize this poor country of 13 million people.
		Sihanouk once said Sihamoni "would probably decline that royal job which he finds frightening." But after abdicating, the king made clear that it was his son's royal duty to accept the crown if offered.

	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.

	Before the Holocaust: Sihanouk's Rise to Power
		By 1963, Sihanouk's overwhelming authority and strong-arm tactics had purged much of the opposition out of politics, causing some of the Pracheachon politicians and their communist supporters to flee for their lives into the Cambodian wilderness.
		Sihanouk was glad to be rid of these oppositionist troublemakers, whom he later labeled rather mockingly as "Red Khmers" - or in French, les Khmer Rouges.
		Sihanouk ruled with an iron hand, but he delegated powers to his loyal ministers so he could concentrate on his favorite hobbies, including jazz saxophone, filmmaking, magazine editing, and having affairs with foreign women.

		The remark is typical of Sihanouk's ways: a blend of charm and shrewdness that beguiles both friend and enemy, and allows him to live to scheme another day.
		But it was Sihanouk who was to pull the strings, leading his country to independence within twelve years, then abdicating to rule as prime minister.
		Sihanouk once confessed that while Cambodians had traditionally suffered under terrible leaders, "I'm not sure that I was much better myself." Then he promptly added: "perhaps I was the least bad." His governing style was often autocratic.

		In February, King Norodom Sihanouk, who was to announce his retirement earlier this month, set in motion the transfer of all his personal archives from the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh and his residences in Beijing and Pyongyang, North Korea, to two international institutions.
		After the 1970 coup that ousted Norodom Sihanouk from power and led to the establishment of a republic, the Lon Nol administration deliberately destroyed a large number of documents pertaining to the monarchy, said Alain Daniel, who served as Norodom Sihanouk’s private secretary in the late 1960s.
		During that period, Norodom Sihanouk was trying to build resistance against the Lon Nol regime by cooperating with Cambodian communist forces—the future Khmer Rouge—he had previously fought, and seeking international support.
