ERIC STONE
Not a great book by any means, almost trashy but an interesting theme. Great for an asiaphile. IMPORTS centers around the illegal trade of Cambodian antiquities. How these jewels of cambodian culture are stolen and sold by Khemer Rouge, the same people who so decimated the population and the country years ago. How much of the Khemer Rouge leadership was educated at the Sorbonne in Paris. All this is told through the story of Ray Sharp, an American expat living in the East. He stumbles on this illicit business while perusing a Chinese Art supply store in Hong Kong.
