This is the title of a book written in French by the General Lon Nol and published in 1974, a year before the fall of the Khmer Republic. Through this book, General Lon Nol would justify the "Revolution" of March 18, 1970. He saw the grave communist Vietnamese threat to Cambodia and Prince Sihanouk siding with them.
He wrote that from March 29, 1970 - today in history, 41 years gao - the communist Vietnamese start invading Cambodia, after ignoring the Khmer ultimatum to withdraw from the Cambodian territory at the boders.
The Khmer Republic proclaimed on October 29, 1970 had survived until April 17, 1975.
