About the Book

‘Kingdom of the Monkey’ is the extraordinary and vivid account of a country so captivating yet so obscure in every way, that the deeper you go in the harder it gets to look away.Cambodia, 1993 – 2003: this is no tropical paradise; stay too long out there and soon nothing you may come across really holds the same power to shock or surprise you. It’s a time when all acceptable norms of humanity seem to be turned upside down. Even the last of Indochina’s civil wars, grinding on out in the countryside, presents as a mere sideshow diversion to the main events being played out in the free-for-all capital that is Phnom Penh.

About the Author :
Jim Taylor, from Kent in South East England, has lived, worked and travelled within various war-zones around the world. His sense of adventure and perspective of reality is what drives him to encounter the world as it really is. After having recorded a wealth of knowledge and experience on the recent history of change in the developing nations of South East Asia, it is high time for the fourth book in his adventure-travel series to see the light of the day.
