RADIO UNTAC OF CAMBODIA: WINNING EARS, HEARTS AND MINDS

cover 21'714 (3.8 K)

This book offers a fascinating snapshot of Cambodia on the threshold of a new beginning. The United Nations' decision to venture into broadcasting was a ground-breaking move. Radio UNTAC became a sensation and a household name in Cambodia. The contribution of Radio UNTAC to the stupendous voter turn-out in the election cannot be quantified. It is irrefutable that Radio UNTAC played a pivotal role in convincing the electorate: “Your vote is secret”. For planners of future missions, there are invaluable lessons to be learnt from the experience of Radio UNTAC as a peacekeeping tool. For the general readers, this book offers an away from the microphone account of “mission” work. In the process, it records a country in transition as Cambodians defied the bullets and reached for peace via the ballots.
